From analysing these three Grime music videos, we have learnt that the costume tends to be more of an urban trend rather than glamorous. This includes tracksuits and other casual clothing. We have noticed that Stormzy's video featured him in Adidas clothing for the majority of the time, meaning that he was possibly sponsored by them - a fashionable and trendy brand. We have also noticed that a significant characteristic of location and setting for Grime music videos is that they are often set in an exterior place, mostly typical London estates. There are also minimal props in Grime music videos.
