Task 7 - Music Video Analysis

Task 1:

Task 2:

The music video for she's so lovely by  scouting for girls is performance and narrative based. However the performance is derogatory towards woman as the lead singer idolises her and talks about her appearance, making it sound like that's the only good thing about women (their appearance). In this clip we can see how he objectifies her talking about her biting her lip and shaking her hips, to make this worse she supports the lyrics in the narrative by acting them out. This music video differs from others as it sexualises women, this would be looked down by lots of people as people strongly believe in equality.

                            

This music video features a world renowned Actor who's has featured in big blockbuster movies. Despite this he is used in a comical sense and takes away from his credibility. Thesis due to what he does throughout the video (dancing). the lyrics he dances to are about a weapon of choice, so the narrative strongly repels from the lyrics, also the type of dancing he is doing doesn't represent the lyrics and the story they are trying to tell very well. This music video is completely narrative based and doesn't feature any form of a performance from the artist.

                            

Task 3:

Task 4:

Twenty One Pilots - Stressed Out

         

The lead singers outfit consists of black and red clothing, red items are the accessories e.g. Bag and hat and his base clothes are black. His tricycle is black and red and so are the cars in the background, this could be a links to things that are a result of stress, black for depression and red for anger. During the performance there is always a person in the background on their headphones, this is because they are listening to the music on their iPods, however the actual band is in their rooms as a part of the narrative, this is because the lyrics are supposed to be from their prospective. 4 different locations throughout the music video cuts between each four, makes it seem as if the narrative is a part of the performance. Music and singing cuts out while two characters do a special handshake, making this the only sound. Song comes back in after handshake more upbeat than previously. Now with drums and singing. Towards the end of the song, the lead singer’s voice is altered to be deeper to set the mood of the song. Full body tracking shot as lead singer rides tricycle down the road. Transition from narrative to performance through the doorway. Medium close up shots on lead in singer as he sings the chorus, each. Time he does he takes of his hat.
