This is a music video for the song "Waiting all Night" by Rudimental. The video consist of alot of hand held shots, this enforces realism in the video, which follows the inspirational true life-story of San Francisco born BMX champion and actor - Kurt Yaeger, who became an amputee after an accident in 2006. All the characters in the clip are pro bmx'ers and the real friends of Kurt.

At the beginning of the video pase editing has been used, to build suspense and confused to relate to the city. In this part of the clip, the use of ambient sound emphasises confusion, when Kurt gets hit by the van ambient sound instantly engages the audience to the nature of the video. The fade out to black, then the instant cut of video and music to Kurt in hospital and his friends around him shows a change from the confusion of the city and slows the video down and adds emotion.

The natural real life acting goes well with the music which give a feel of sadness, pase and triumph. Other things like lighting aren't taken massively into effect as this would introduce a artificial feeling to the clip.  This feel of real life is something I like in video, having a back story makes the audience instantly more interested, making the music video more of a short film.
