Group analysis of Music Video
In today's lesson, as a class we looked at 3 music videos and talked about how we would use elements of them in our videos.
The first video that we looked at was Naïve by The Kooks. In the video, the people had stereotypical clothing on for the indie genre. There was also dingy lighting which again reflects the indie genre which makes it realistic and edgy. There was also a long introduction which also gives It an edgy feel as the audience question who it is. There was also a retrospective narrative which was very effective. It was also edited on a guitar strum on several occasions which was very effective as it linked the narrative and performance together, almost. From this video, we are going to use the idea of the video being edited/changing shots on a drum beat/guitar strum, as we found this very effective. Bastille are also an indie band which we will reflect through the clothing of our actors and band members.
The second video which we looked at was Last Nite by The Strokes. This video is just performance which I found quite boring as there was noting to grab your attention and keep you interested. However there was many effective shots that were used in the video: a smooth pan of the band, crane shot of band, and side angle of the drums. All of these shots looked very good as we were able to see them from many angles and it wasn't the same shots over and over. There was also many long takes of the band which shows the laid back attitude of the singer in comparison to other music videos which are generally short takes. The band were performing in a retro type location which again links to the indie genre. There was a zoom used in the song which started as a close up of the singer and then zoomed out so it was a long take of the band which looked very effective. This was something that, as a group we plan to use in our music video as we thought it looked very professional. Many inserts were also used which we plan to use in our video as it is a good editing technique to emphasise importance ands build tension which will fit our narrative.
The last video that we looked at was When we were young by The Killers. In this video, there was a bird eye view of the drums which looked very edgy as you don't usually see this type of shot in music videos. This links to our indie genre.
