In this essay I’m going to talk about Busta Rhymes song called touch it (remix). Busta Rhymes used many techniques when making the video to this song. One in which was when the kids were stomping (dance) and have that singing/dance battle. It was different because nobody else includes a singing/dance battle in the beginning of a music video between 2 groups of little kids. There is another cool effect that they do within the video of touch it (remix) by Busta Rhymes. There are about 7 artists in the music video including Papoose, Dmx and Mary J Blidge etc. Each artist in the video represents one colour for example Papoose represents green and Dmx represents black. The final piece which was used in the video for touch it (remix) was when a new artist comes up to perform it will say their name at the side so that you know who will be rapping next in the video. There are different types of camera shots used in the music video such as two shots, close ups and wide shots. There are a lot of close up shots used in the video when it shows the artists face as they are singing. There are more close up shots taken in the beginning where it like runs through all the artists featured in the song such as Rah Digga, Dmx etc. The second type of camera shot which is used in the video of the song touch it (remix) is wide shot. The first wide shot which is taken in the beginning of the song is when Busta Rhymes and his friend is shown which the cheerleaders when they are about to stomp and beat box which shows you that they are a lot of people there in the room and a singing/dance battle is clearly shown at the beginning when Busta Rhymes starts rapping and then the girls start stomping (dance). Finally the last camera shot used in the music video of touch it(remix) is two shot. There are a couple of two shots used in the music video. One in which is the two shot used when Busta Rhymes gets in the shot with Rah Digga just before she is about to rap which shows that she is featured in the song. It also happens to all the other rappers in the song which also clearly shows who is involved in the song itself.
