Dizzee Rascal's "Dream" Analysation

"Dream" samples from "Captain Sensible - Happy Talk" swell as the video idea coming from " Muffin the Mule"


In Dizzee Rascal's "Dream", in a effort to make is seem old fashioned, with paid homage to the black and white effects of a 1950s TV, the 1950s sitting room is accompanied by a grand piano being the mise en scene of the room as well as a muted colour palette, Dizzee Rascal is in a bright red hoodie, which is a commonly used film technique, which is to make Dizzee, the star of the show, stand out. Along with Dizzee being the standing out character, not including the woman playing the piano, he is the only character not on strings, potentially signifying that he can't be controlled by the higher powers as he has "made it" and he is his own person now. In a counteraction to the previous point, Dizzee is summoned out of a box, by the woman playing the piano, signifying a higher power and that he is not 100% in control and at then end, he is summoned back to his box. The woman playing the piano represents the wealthy, white, upper class swell as implicitly stating and displaying that this is her world. 

Through the video the woman plays a on edge persona and feels on edge from the white cop doll fighting the young black dolls, yet, does not stop it, to which this symbolises liberal white people, high in the hierarchy to which, makes them feel above everyone.

In addition, the opening is placed in a middle class setting presumably which also presents the UK as selfish in this sense. The radio is speaking generally, but directly to the audience, being us as what is spoken, is relatable and connects to the listener directly, with cold low lighting to accompany it. Poor African areas are shown purposely within the advertisement for sympathy reasons, whilst the main character of the advertisement subverts generic stereotypes as she is singing happily and has nice clothes, not crying nor seeming in need of serious help, yet her mood is ambiguous. These are binary opposites as the UK is show
