About the Song
This song with Run DMC and Aerosmith is a cover of the song originally done by Aerosmith. The song incorporates both hip hop and rock to create a fusion and created the genre rap rock. This helped massively in making rap a mainstream genre because it allowed more people to hear it with the fusion. This song also was an international hit and won both groups awards.
Type
This video can be described as a performance video because the two artists group both appear in the video and play a big part in making the video what it is. We see them in the video a lot in the start and when they are on the stage. This shows that they fall under the ''type'' of performance. They might of done a performance type of video because it is the easiest type of video in comparison to narrative and concept. Also at the time Aerosmith was not well known so by doing a performance video it introduced them to their potential audience.
Camera
One of the first shots we see the music video starts with a extreme long shot where the two bands practicing separately in their rooms with a large wall separating them which signifies the separation between rock and rock. We then see mid shots switching between Run-DMC and Aerosmith showing their annoyance between each other playing their music. The long shot shows their reaction and anger at each other playing their music. We then see Steven Tyler (the lead singer of Aerosmith) break through the wall in a close up this shows the start of the fusion between the two bands and the two genres. It then goes to the stage and we see a long shot first showing the two groups alternate this shows that the two groups that have come together and therefore rock and rap have come together.
