Every skip has a different colour scheme. After this there is a typical dance video scene, where the camera weaves between a crowd of people dancing to the track. Then Dizzee pops up from the middle of the crowd wearing a attention seeking red t-shirt. The connotations of this angle suggest Dizzees power and influence over the crowd. The camera cuts are fast and often, contributing to the manic nature of the video. The next scene shows Dizzee lying in a white room, with many different layering effects. He is lying down as the song has reached a chilled out calmer melody. When the scene returns to Dizzee on top of his world, it is darker, and his outfit has changed into a dark hoodie. This suggests a passage of time through the progression of the video. He then is transformed into a shark outfit, this is a random expression of Dizzees personality; he's 'bonkers'. Later on the dancers return in neon skeletal outfits, once again a reflection of the song title. The colours are flashy and bold and suits the song.

Dizzee Rascal-Bonkers
This popular songs video is abstract, as it follows no real narrative but is just a collation of video clips. It does however, throughout the video have Dizzee lip syncing the lyrics, making it a performance video also. The video begins with setting the scene, on a alternative universe which is noticable by the effects on the mise-en-scene in the video, giving it a plasticine look. This contributes to the 'Bonkers' and abstract nature of the video. The first part of the video shows Dizzee on a bed, in a truck. The background is ice blue, as is Dizzees outfit, which has eyes, all over it blinking. The camera jump-cuts from close ups of Dizzee lip syncing, to long shots of him interacting with obscure items. The chorus shows a aerial shot of the artist lip syncing while buildings and cars pass by him. He is larger than the buildings, making him the main focus, making him look like the owner of the 'alternative universe'. On the part of the track where the beat repeats itself, the video shows dizzee lip syncing and his movements are repeated in sync with the tracks skipping effect.
