There isn’t a huge amount of shots used throughout the video, or even a wide amount of variety, in terms of shot types. There are, approximately, only twenty shots throughout the entire two minutes and fifty-three seconds, of the video.
All of the shots in the video seem to be performance based, having no narrative throughout the video, as it is simply meant to entertain, not to tell a story. Most of the shots focus on the ‘meat’ as the video is mostly made up of shots that are following the two members of justice as they walk through a series of corridors, while their shirts change while they are walking along.
A lot of the actually seem to transition rather seamlessly as when they happen; it is noticeable, but not completely obvious. A lot of the shots also cut to an animation, these are the only parts of the video, in which the ‘meat’ isn’t present, these sections are also used to synchronise the video to the sound as the music corresponds with the images on screen, for example, the images on screen will match the lyrics, or correspond with specific beats.
Although there are few shots and cuts throughout the video, the speed of the editing is rather quick when it happens, although with few cuts, the overall pace of the editing is rather slow. The use of editing goes beyond simple cuts, however, as the shirts of the two on in the video change through the course of the video.
There are also very few shot types used throughout the entire video, with most of the shots simply following the ‘meat’, some of these shots are from the front, some are from behind, although all of the shots seem to keep the two men’s faces out of view, so most of the shots in the video are medium shot’s of the men’s torso, focusing the viewer’s attention on their T-shirt’s.
