Music Video Analysis (Anthony Black)
This video was first released in 2009, The video is mostly in low key lighting and is slow paced to go along with the song so does not feature many quick takes. The video is high budget due to as the video goes on the video features more CGI and will start to be quicker paced as the song goes on as well. The video is also shaky throughout that suits the lyrics of the video.
The video for this song is mostly a montage of the band performing at concerts and behind the scenes. This is common for this genre of music videos to show a montage of the band performing live. Unlike the other Kings of Leon song above this video features no CGI and keeps a similar pace throughout the video to go with the song unlike the song above where it gets faster as it goes on.
The video for "Stay With Me" is basic but very effective as its simply the artists (Sam Smith) walking down the street as he sings the song, there are a few scenes where its in a different scene. This video works well with the lyrics to the song however and with it being so simple means it is more effective and because its a s low paced song the video is also slow paced to go with the song.
The song is like the others above where the video is slow paced and features long takes and very few short takes. The video features a few pan shots when the camera shows what all the band is doing and this is also done through quick close ups on the band.

Hi Anthony I like the music video choices you have decided to analyse within our chosen genre and I think you're analysis is overall good and there is use of some media terminology. However to improve I believe that you could be more thorough within your analysis and possibly use more media terms such as the different camera angles and movements used within the music videos.
ReplyDeleteYes Anthony, I agree with Charlie, to make this a stronger blog you can add a few more little media comments using media descriptors. Shots styles, what are they? Why?
ReplyDeleteAn easier way to do this is add a few continous still shots to help describe. I look forward to seein the update. Mrs McD-H
