Furher music video analysis

During my next lesson we looked at a few snapshots of other music videos,this had helped me undertstand the way of variety of music videos are constructed and made.I looked a 3 compleyley different music genres and noted dowen some key point of the musi videos and whats good about them.

The first music video was:Red hot chilli peppers-cant stop:

 
The key good points from this video i note down were:

  • They had great performance,everyone was perfoming to the best of their ability which allowd a sense of comedy value to be obtained.
  • A variety of different shots were used to allow it to look interesting
  • There wasnt a narrative,but the excellent perfromance and whaky use of cinematography allowed them to create something so different yet so good.
  • They used special effects e.g the same person was mirrowed 3 times to create surrealism
  • They had a continous rebellious,fun theme which was held throughout
  • Quick shots were used throughhout yet each time matched the beat of the music wheich allowed it to work effectivly.It also kept me interested because it was different,fun and busy.


The next video i watched was Chris Brown-dont judge me:

  • I noticed he uses a lot of special effects e.g motion movement to create relaism;slow motion;special effects lighting etc.
  • In this video also alot of locations are used which compliments the video really well
  • Chris also uses a hjand held camera-which is a clever idea.I like this because it invloves the audience and makes it more personal.
  • Montage editing is also used,it allows the narrtive to flick back and fourth which allows it to make sense.
  • The costumes he wears also fit the genre hes portraying,his use of mise-en-scene has allowed him to create a very relaistic video,canging his identity (costume) to something different than hed usually wear.

The final video i looked at was Daft Punk-around the world:


    I found this video really weird and different,and ddint really understand it.But i felt it was good to include as its something completley different.
  • The perfomers were correctly dancing to the beat which allowed it to work well.     
  • It has comntinous editing with very little edits.
  • The dancers were dancing repeatvily all the way  through,so this beome quite boring.
  • I didnt undernstand the narrative,so this shos it was a poor video is tring to get a message across.
  • The lighting seemed very old fashioned
  • The video seems rushed asif it had been filmed in a very short space of time
