I have chosen this video because I like the different shots that are used in the video . They have create a different visual piece with this video, it makes it look really good. I like the upbeat pop style of the song. I like music as it is upbeat this links in well in to their message of what they are getting across . like how they bring their own style to it as well.
At the start of
the video it sounds like an instrument of a trumpet for the intro part. We
have the girls who come up on screen from the corner. Each of them has their
own different background to each other. They individually come on
screen. I like this look because it creates that fun factor when it's
split into a four grid. You don't really see this style in music videos today.
You have their name displayed in a love heart, which is all lit up. You have a
blind dissolve effect which opens like a curtain. You have the quick change of
the girls moving around and singing. 
You have the
screen where it splits up into two with Jesse and Leigh Ann. This looks good
because it creates a different visual effect which makes it more fun. Jesse is
in her own background, so this relates to her identity of her being into her
music. In Leigh Ann's background the graffiti blends in well with her
top showing the same sort of graffiti shape. This shot is a long shot of
focusing on the background itself as well as the main focus of her. They show
us there attitudes really well when there singing. When Perri sing "spread
your wings my little butterflies”; this is where you see her in her background
of flowers. Her identity shows that she likes flowers. We have a long shot of
her spinning around as she sings these lyrics. Long shots are good to concentrate on
the background from a wider perspective. We have a mid -shot of Jesse pointing at
the camera. We
have another mid -shot of Leigh Ann as she is strutting her stuff. Mid-shot of Jesse and another mid shot of
Leigh Ann with them feeling into the song more.
We have the four
grid again of them in a close up which will capture their emotions
and their actions "Ssh". We get the two split again this is
with Perri and Jade. We get a long shot of them in their backgrounds. We have a
long shot of Jesse moving to the beat of the clapping noise. She's really
getting into the song here, its just way her body language is presented. We get
a different variety of shots so close ups, mid shots and outer shots. This
shows the different movement by capturing these different shots. We have long
shot of her in the warehouse; I like this with the lights dimly lit.
You have the blue effect of the lights shining through the warehouse. The blue
effect it's like it's shining as a reflection on the walls. It
creates a dark feel to it as well.
We have a mid
-shot of Jesse clapping her hands. We can see she is wearing different clothes
this time. You get another mid- shot of her where we see the vibration of the
wall. It looks pretty cool; it creates that haze effect from the
vibrations from the speakers. You get a side view (POV); this shows it
from the cameras point of view of what's in front. You get that vibration
effect again, but this time you’re seeing more than one of her. Then you
have a long shot of Jade. In her background reflects in what she is wearing. You
have her dancing as soon as she says "Walking over there". You have a
long shot of her in the warehouse. You have all the blue lighting effects
coming through the windows; it creates that glow effect. You have the splatter
blob at the back of the wall; it's quite a creative visual piece. You have
mid-shots and close ups of Jade showing off a bit on how cool she looks. You
have a quick mid -shot of Perri and then a long shot of Leigh Ann who is dancing.
You have the four
grid effect changing which shows them individually coming up on screen.
We then see fast cuts of mid-shots with Leigh Ann and Perri who is giving it. We
have long shots of the abstract forms the visual element. It’s like blue splats,
white dots, blue lines and blue geometric shapes. It creates a different visual
effect of them being in a whole new creative world. Especially with all the
different blue tones and its geometric shapes with the girls
singing and dancing.

You get the mid
shots and close ups of them in their backgrounds. It relates back to them
together in the warehouse with the visual effect. It makes it fun, it looks it.
You have them (mid-shot) individually with them creating their
own abstract effect.
With the shots from the backgrounds, as well as
the warehouse shots; it inter cuts between them with linking in back
to them from location to location. More long shots of them dancing enjoying
themselves. You have where the blue lines comes across the screen. You get
them individually as well as linking them in their own backgrounds
and inter cutting with all the visual effects. So for example
the blue lines , shapes and the changes of blue tone. The shot I like is
where there all together; it creates spiral shapes, blue
lines, sparkly effect , splatter effect and a blue background with
speakers built it the wall,it looks really good. You get Jade where she's
strutting her stuff in the blue effect . You get inter cuts with
Perri attitude. The effect uses the speaker effect again which I think is
pretty cool . You have the inter cuts with Leigh Ann with her
showing off more attitude.You get the two split of the screen again, but with
Jesse mid-shot and Jade in a two split of a close up. You get the same effect
with the other two.
You have a mid-shot of Jesse and Jade entering the
set as they walk up closer . You have a mid shot of them all doing
hip-hop moves. It looks so fast, they must have cheogoraphed them. You have the
Union Jack as a display in the background with all the dancers. You have a
distance look ( Extreme -Long Shot) from them dancing. You get again the
fast hip-hop moves of them dancing so quick . Again more inter-cuts of them
from them hip-hopping and into them dancing with the visual effects; you get
the fast bit hey hey. You get the pink background look I like this because it
looks quite cool . There all making their point to the lyrics "You better
keep on walking"; showing attitude and how they feel about the
lyrics. You get the stamping beat where their moving there feet. You get the individually poses
of them, inter cuts of them stamping their feet. ( Marching visual
effect). You get them as well with them in the ware house of them stamping
their feet with the abstract elements. You then get a long shot
of them together looking happy. 
Lyrics:
The band has been
vocal about standing up to bullies, and the single reinforces that message.
Cos
I'm too fly to care, oh yeah
Your words don't
mean a thing
I'm not listening
Keep talking, all
I know is
And we don't let
nobody bring us down
No matter what
you say it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I
fall from the sky
These wings are
made to fly
This shows
that no one can bring the me own . Telling them that whatever they
say won't hurt them . They can not rise to it and they can carry on with
there lives.
The lyrics are so strong here !
Don't let what they say
keep you up at night And if they give you shhhh..
Then they can walk on by
Here it shows that you shouldn't listen to what the bullies say . You should ignore them because there just people who haven't got anything better to do.
Walk, walk on over there
This means that you should say something to these people. Show them that you don't care in what they say to you. To stand up to them because you're the bigger person.
People have said the song is "absolutely brilliant"
"love it"
" yes love this song too big fan of little mix thanks girls; can't stop singing this so really good." "
"Yeah, I like this song!"
"I LOVE YOU GIRLS"
"I love your style"
"love it"
" yes love this song too big fan of little mix thanks girls; can't stop singing this so really good." "
"Yeah, I like this song!"
"I LOVE YOU GIRLS"
"I love your style"
The opinions are very positive for the girls . They are inspirational to all young teenagers. The song can relate to people today, who may have been bullied. The song is all about them standing up to the bullies and that get across their message really well. Hopefully this song can help people today with them standing up to the antagonist people.
Leigh-Anne: We've all been through it and we wanted to write something that people who've experienced it can relate to. But also, we didn't want it to be cheesy. We wanted to be clever with the lyrics. The line "mama told me not to waste my time" was really important. It's not us preaching. I think we've done it in quite a cool way.
Perrie: More than anything, we wanted to be involved in the writing and the production. I've always loved rock music. My dad brought me up listening to Journey, Aero smith and Guns N' Roses. Then, on my mum's side of the family, I was into Motown. So when we started writing, we all had different tastes in different genres of music but we tried to blend it all together. At the end of the day, it's our name on it. If we're not happy, then I think people will see straight through it.
Theme:
The theme is very upbeat in a pop style, hip-hop style. The sounds they use are clapping noises, trumpet and drums. The effects they use are backdrops for creating the different abstract effects and their own back drops. The girls are wearing clothes that relate to today's styles . The video is a very colourful with the backdrops that relate to their own identity. The scenes look really creative when there dancing;It makes you want to dance with them.There young girls ,it shows they are enjoying life. Each of them have there own style and different attitudes within the lyrics. I think they have presented the song really well which will help young teenagers today.
Parody:
Here this song is a very different version . It's like an r&b version of the song. It sounds really good, I like how she added her long intakes on the notes and she has created a different style of wings.
She uses her voice in a different way which is good. She holds on the lyrics for a bit long and then sings next bit . The original is a lot better I would say as it's more upbeat.
Here this version is good again. She adds her own twist with to it . She uses her voice in a different range. It's really good and she has a strong voice.
Here this is a really bad version of the song . She can't sing , she needs to know how to reach into the high notes and explore with her vocals. It's really annoying.
