Baby Driver is a film by Edgar Wright, who took inspiration from a previous music video he'd made for Blue Song by Mint Royale, and expanded on the idea. The film is about a getaway driver who constantly listens to music to help him drive during police chases. We looked at this film to compare the narrative structure in a feature film to that of a short film or even music video. By doing this we found that the feature film usually needs more time to develop the characters and the narrative, whereas the narrative of a short film is able to be compressed into just a few minutes.
The first shot in the opening scene is a close up of a car wheel, much like in the music video. We then have a close up on an iPod and then close ups on four characters in time to the beat of the music. From there three of the characters get out of the car and Baby, played by Ansel Elgort stays inside since he is the getaway driver for a crime the others are about to commit. They get out of the car, pick up bags from the boot and walk across the street in time to the music. The focus of the scene then switches back to the getaway driver instead, much like the music video.
