Ken Tanaka: Media Nats Unit2: January 2012

1. Baltimore clap by Benga.
Directed by Kristofer Storm
Genre: dubstep
This is kinda an unconventional video.
because Benga is not such a Mainstream artist, he can use more unconventional content in his videos.
there really isn't much to see: what you see is what you get.

2. Since there are no lyrics in the video, there is no way the video matches any lyrics in it.
however the title baltimore clap is referred to in the song, since the song is set in a "Clap Factory"

3. The Video cuts to the beat at all points, and because it is entirely animated, most of the actions in the video ate also in time to the beat.
you can see this at any point in the video, there are cuts at 1.33,1.38,1.44 to name a few.

4. Benga is not shown or mentioned in the video and it has no reference to any of his previous videos.
I think this is because
I think the main motif of the video is clapping, referring to the title Baltimore clap title of the video.

5. I wouldn't say there is any sexualization in the video or any references to looking in the video.
and I cant say anything about camerawork since the video is animated.
The animated character does however look at the character in the video.

6. This is a very original video, and it has no intertextual references I know of.

7. There is no performance in the video since the track is digitally produced and is entirely instrumental.
The video is a mixture of context and narrative.

8. This is a difficult video to review as is is very unconventional, is all animation and does not even feature the artist. It tells a story of an alien monster thing that travels through a factory that creates.. um.. claps.
The video however, has some relevance with the name of the song's title so they are not entirely unrelated.
