Analysis Of Azealia Banks 212




The video is set in black and white.
The video begins with a close up shot of the singer, Azealia Banks against a brick wall.
The shot then moves to a low angle extreme long shot of  an urban setting and a traffic light in the centre of the shot.
The next shot is a 2 shot close up of a white male and Azealia facing him.
The next shot is a POV shot of somebody walking down a supermarket isle.
After this, is an extreme close up of Azealia's mouth.
An extreme longshot of a large house with 2 cars parked outside is shown.
The shot then moves back to the brick wall, with a medium shot of Azealia and a black young male dancing across the shot.
Then there is a close up shot of Azealia against a brick wall, this is when she starts singing "Hey, i can be the answer..."
The shot then alternates between the close up, the 2 shot of Azealia and the boy dancing, and an extreme close up of Azealia singing. The black and white makes Azealias teeth look striking.
When the lyrics "I guess that c*** getting eaten" are being sung, the lyrics appear on a black screen in a white, serif font.
The shots then move back to the medium close up and the extreme close up shots.
When the lyrics "212" are sung, a medium close up of a male putting 2 fingers up at the camera is shown.
A medium long shot is shown of Azealia against a wall, showing that she is wearing a micky mouse jumper and shorts, which may be part of the sex appeal of the photo. She dances in the shot.
An extreme close up is then shown to emphasise the lyrics in which she is singing.
The 2 shot of Azealia and the white male is shown again, she appears to be singing to the male.
Different shots of the medium long shots, medium close up shots and extreme close up shots are shown.
