Page 2: Analysis of music video, pop rock genre

Setting:

The video is set in a house with the musicians performing their song with the band and the instruments. There are no scenes outside of the house, all the filming is done in three separate rooms.

Costumes

The costumes are quite smart and dressy. All men present in the video from the band are wearing suits with shirts and ties, and the female singer wears a selection of dresses, her hair and make up are quite smart too.

Lighting

Throughout the video, the lighting is bright and everything in the video is visible. The lighting is un-natural, all the lighting is from chandeliers.

1. By the setting being in this particular house, this shows that the video is quite modern. The colours in the house are quite bright. A lot of greens and reds are used, this can show that even though the lyrics are talking about never seeing each other again, they still seem to be happy about the time they spent together and don’t mind that this could be the end for them.

2. By looking at the smart costumes, this can show the audience that they are quite wealthy, judging by the house, the props (such as diamond earrings) and the outfits, which all look quite expensive. This could show that they are quite high maintenance. Perhaps this could be the reason for them breaking up.

3. The bright light can show the mood as being quite happy, however it can also make it quite intense, as all facial expressions can be shown and there’s no hiding.

• In this particular video, there are no major edits used as the video itself is quite simple and doesn’t need any special effects.

• Throughout the video, the camera cuts to different scenes or from the male singer to the female singer to members of the band.

• At the end, the screen fades to black, signifying the end of the song.

• There are a wide range of different shots used for different reasons in this music video.

• There are a lot of close ups, this enables the audience to see the character’s facial expressions.

• There is an over-the-shoulder shot, which enables the audience to see the scene from a different characters’ point of view, and how they see it themselves.

• There is a two-shot of the two main characters sitting at a table, this shows both of their reactions, facial expressions and body language at the same time.

• The establishing shot shows the scene and introduces the audience to the music video and where it will be shown.

• This genre of music uses a type of video where there is no narrative or storyline, it’s just simply the singers and the band performing the song.

• For our video, we are going to use the idea of performing the song and miming the lyrics, but we are also going to use a simple storyline to go with it.
