Short Analysis on Music Vids
1.
There is a definite link between genre and music video. The mise en scene matches perfectly into the genre of Heavy Metal. With the long firzzly hair and leather trousers. Plus the white tank top with blakc complicated pattern on Axel Ross (lead singer) in the performance part of the music video.
2.
The whole video is filmed and the edited to be reversed. There is a clear relationship between a female protagonist and male antagonist through the use of framing and shooting (Many Two - Shots)
3.
At 1:14 in the video the lyrics represent what is happening in the video. This is a very common convention in music video.
4.
This music video is filmed with one shot type in a studio, The whole video is filmed on a rotation platform each side being something different so it is very visually striking. The style almost gives a whole globe effect.
5.
The video has a very clear link between the future and the past. Starting out with a child who is growing up spray painting very visually striking things in a fully white room, linking between the main narrative. Throughout the video the child and man (same person) show similarities between his childhood and adulthood of rough things he is going through.
6.
Most of the video is shot in slow motion to make the link between the lyrics and the video much more striking. Slow motion makes an audience unconsciously pay more attention to the details in the mise - en - scene which the director of this video is trying to show.
7.
This is a dance hit in the 90's. There clear male gaze all the way throughout the video both in narative and performance. This video helped popularise the song and made it a hit in night clubs and other clubs of the likes, for of how it attracted such a huge male audience.
8.
This is a modern dance music video, The whole video is of a young attractive female rolling around on roller skates with smoke bombs attache to the back and she rolls down the street and whenever there is a public member they break into a dance as well (such as postman, a mother and her child, etc.). It is made in a way that makes her interact with the general public which can be made into a viral dance.
9.
This started out as a dutch song but has become so popular with an audience who don't speak the language that the makers redid the video with subtitles. There has also been a German version released of the song "Kind Eines Teufels" the video being the same just without lyrics. The performance however has been cut more so the lip syncing seems to be right (Dutch and German are similar).
