Music Video Analysis: Rudimental - Not Giving In



The slow motion in this scene is used for effect, and to cause shock. It shows an abusive father attacking the mother, which is obviously something which the audience are going to be affected by seeing. It also provides something for  the rest of the music video to contrast to, with the faster paced following once the young boys have left home, suggesting again the common convention of 'breaking free' and a better life.
This close up shot is significant as it presents the idea of longing to escape reality as such. The darkness from the room the boy is in, as shown in the last picture too, contrasts from the brightness of the outside world. 

This crane shot, which features the young boy in the window to the right of the frame, which slowly moves out and away from the scene shows the contrast between the run down part of town in which the boy resides and the riches of the city with the sky scrapers.
