Griminal - Supa Dupa
I will be analysing 'Supa Dupa' by Griminal, focusing on the 4 key concepts; narrative, genre, media language and representation.
Narrative: The music video does not really have a clear narrative but at the start of the video there is a shot of a car being driven around in a warehouse, with Griminal getting out and then performing the song.
Genre: The genre of the song is Hip-Hop and is clearly shown by the mise en scene. Griminal the main artist is shown driving a sports car at the start and is dressed in clothes associated with Hip-Hop i.e. Hats, Hoodies, Trainers etc. The women in the video are also typically dressed for a Hip-Hop video wearing very few clothes to show off their figure. The video looks very 'flashy' and constantly shows off the car, the women and the main artist which is what Hip-Hop is all about, 'Showing off your money, cars, girls' etc.
Media Language:
Representation: Throughout the whole video, the main artist 'Griminal' is in pretty much every shot and is always the center of attention. He is put across to the audience as a rapper who has the money, the girls and the nice sports car. The men in the video are represented as the dominant sex who can have and do what ever they want, whereas the women are shown dancing in a cage like their only there for the entertainment of the men.
