Artist research- Chase & Status and Plan B

Chase & Status featured Plan B in the song end credits. Originally the soundtrack for the 2009 film "Harry Brown" staring Michael Caine as the vigilante and Ben Drew (Plan B) as the main villain. After the film the song became a huge hit and Chase & Status and Plan B became more noticed.

As Chase & Status are more electronic producers such as drum and bass and Plan B is a rapper the acoustic guitar in the first fifty seconds of the music video goes against the usual conventions of this genre of music.  However the quick cut shot shots shortly followed do follow the conventions.

The slow motion shot at the start does connect with the acoustics in the song as it builds up the suspense untill the drop where the faster paced music comes in and bad acts start to happen.

The song was played at the end of the film during the credits suggesting why its named that, but the video also shows how its the end of the villain as he is dieing and going to heaven. There is lots of connotations for example "I'll be on my way, to heavens door"  as the visuals showing him floating up dead towards the sky (heaven).

Throughout the video different concepts are portrayed all of them being quite dark. Such as street crime, drugs and violence. During the video you see what he has done wrong and shows how he is paying for giving the message that bad things will happen to bad people in the end. You would expect this video from the artists as all their music videos are quite dark and involve crime for example "Time, Flashing lights, Pieces and Let you go".

Lots of establishing shots are used to show where they are and what kind of society lots of people are living  in. Close ups of the main actor singing into the camera about the acts he has done in  the past. The aim of the close up show emotions such as regrets to the bad things and the person he has become  We see the bad things with the main actor in the background looking back at what he has done for example when he is being questioned and when he is in the alleyway, he acts as a spirit over what he used to be.
