Darwin Deez- Radar Detector

Shot	Duration	Camera	Mise-en-scene
1.37-1.38	1 second	Still shot	Typewriter with the lyrics “I won’t go on and on” being typed out as Darwin Deez sings them, this is effective because it allows the consumer to connect with the lyrics and also makes the relationship between the music and visuals more illustrative.
1.38-1.39	1 second	Still Medium shot	Green screen with a pink background, which shows Darwin Deez dancing. He has a very individual look with tight ringlets and a band around his head; we want to style our lead in our video after him.
1.39-1.43	4 seconds	Still Close-up	Green screen where the background goes from pink to purple to blue, it’s a close-up of his face, which allows the audience to see how happy he is.
1.43-1.45	2 seconds	Still Close-up	A spin table has been used to create a moving effect. On the table is loads of cameras connected by wires
1.45-1.48	3 seconds		Darwin Deez goes on to use these cameras as a hat which then turns into a teleporting device. He puts the hat on in this shot
1.48-1.51	3 seconds	Still Medium shot	In this shot he starts to use the 'teleporting device'. The background is him standing on a port with the sea behind
1.51-1.53	2 seconds	Still Medium shot	The background suddenly changes as if he has 'teleported' and he moves to the right a bit. He is now standing in a library
1.53-1.55	2 seconds	Still Medium shot	The background changes again, and he moves a bit more to the right. He is now down an alley.
1.55-1.57	2 seconds	Still Medium shot	The background changes again and he goes to the right, he is now in a dvd shop.
1.57-2.00	3 seconds	Still Medium shot	The same thing happens and he is now on a sandy beach
2.00-2.03	3 seconds	Still Medium shot	The same thing happens and he is now in a lime green kitchen.
2.03-2.05	2 seconds	Still Medium shot	The same thing happens and he is now on a balcony above a city
2.05-2.07	2 seconds	Still Medium shot	The same thing happens and he is now at a skatepark with palm trees all in the background
2.07-2.11	4 seconds	Still Medium shot	And then he goes back to the port along the sea, and he is back to his original position
2.11-2.23 (about 26 shots)	12 seconds	There are about 26 still medium shots in the space of this time which get faster and faster with the music	In these shots, it starts by having him in his different positions with the different backgrounds all splayed over one shot- so it's been edited so that the screen is cut into 7. This is really effective and we are inspired by this and may use it in our own music video. The rest of these shots are cut to the beat of a drum, at the same time as him pressing his 'teleporting'  device. They are edited with a swish cut, and they get faster and faster with the music until it creates an effect which almost makes your head/eyes spin.
2.23-2.25	2 seconds	Still Medium shot	It goes back to the original position, of him standing on a pier on the sea as the finishing shot of this bit. His voice gets lower and he says 'you are a radar detector' for the final time.
2.37-2.38	1 second	Still Medium Long shot	In front of the green screen and the background is cream. he has purple feather flying at him. He is dancing with his arms up and bobbing his head
2.38-2.39	1 second	Still Medium shot	The same shot but a bit closer, with the purple feathers
2.39-2.42	3 seconds	Still long shot	Dancing in front of the green screen, the background goes from blue to yellow to pink to lilac to cream to green
2.42-2.44	2 seconds	Still close up	Of his face and his head bobbing, in front of the green screen. He starts singing again, and has the band around his head. This is a visual signifier of Darwin Deez along with his tight ringlet hair.
