The shots in this song are relatively fast cuts which are used in dance videos in time with the beat and what this does is ensures the the audience does not loose interest too quickly and to guarantee that the audience do not get bored however this is not the case in this video. What use is a video that last a couple of minutes but cannot keep the audience entertained enough so they stay for the whole duration of the video; there would be no point as the artist would not gain the recognition they are seeking of the audience. The audiences attention was kept by the interesting lion figure.
Shots that are taken from a high angle to establish the viewers sense of location of where the video was taken and this case we can see that the video was shot in what appears to be some sort of fancy hotel. Now if we also look at the colours used in the video they are very rich colours so we are talking velvet reds and wine reds and marine blues. Colours that show wealth and dominance. As we have seen in other dance video Storm Queen have gone with a narrative approach in their popular dance video "Look Right Through."
