What you need to know
The animated video for Stormzy's Superheroes, made with the Argentinian studio 2veinte: a young Black boy discovers Black role models and his own potential.
Media language: animation, colour and lighting, symbolism, and a narrative that follows the hero's journey, which the narrative ideas from earlier lessons help to explain.
Representation: young Black people, Black achievement and empowerment, and masculinity.
Contexts: the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, and Stormzy's campaigning and charity work in education.
Refer to specific shots and moments in your own words; the lyrics don't need quoting.
