Video Four

Rizzle Kicks "When I Was A Youngster

Genre: Alternative hip hop 

"When I Was a Youngster" is the second official single released by British hip hop duo Rizzle Kicks, from their debut studio album, Stereo Typical. The single was released on 21 October 2011 in the United Kingdom

Mise-en-scene
The location changes throughout the music video but the main locations are in a school, park, bedroom and in a field. All the different locations in the video are used to represent different ages. There are also a variety of different costumes used throughout the video they are used to show all the different jobs they wanted to be when they were little, which shows the real meaning of the lyrics. The different costumes include; astronaut, fireman, cowboy and indian.  The use of props is also used to represent age which is the main story of the song. The main props used are a toy bow and arrow and water guns when they are dressed up in cowboy and indian costumes. 

Camera Angles
There is a variety of different camera angles in the video such as upwards and downwards shots, the shots could show a contrast that they are getting older and have no idea about what they want to do as a career and they are still a kid at heart and want to do jobs like be a 'cowboy' and 'indian' even though they are both unrealistic.  

Lighting

 
The lighting used in this video is mainly natural lighting as the locations in the video are mostly set outside in a park or a field therefore there isn't really a need for anymore lighting.
