scouting for girls analysis

camera

The use of the camera has been well thought out and used with the rule of thirds. There are several shots were there are blured images infront of the camera to the left or right of the frame and the lead singer or one of the other people from the group in the middle of the shot. There is also an exstensive use of close ups of the artists playing there instruments and performing there song. There are a few establishing shots that are also chucked into the music video as they are showing weird things going on.



mise-en-scene

This music video is unlike most other music videos, it has been made after great thought to what will be inside each shot with each shot tellling a small story. For example the opening shot has got a vast amount of blue and yellow props which have nothing to do with the song but make the viewer think. There are also many props to do with being famous for example there are, video's, magazines, stage lights, TV remotes, guitars etc. This has had a lot of thought as they obviously want people to watchh there video and be interested about the storyline that is going on throughout the video.



Performance

Each artist in this videwo are moving along with there music and are moving in time with it mostly when they have there instruments. There are lots of moments when the artists are just moving around and instead of performing there music they are acting out the snall story that is present through-out the video.



Editing

Editing has been used extensivley in this video as there are many pieces were editing is needed to make a scene work. for example there is a piece at trhe end of the video were some one is reaching out of the tv and picking up a picture, this would of had to have been editted exrensively in order for it to work. There are lots of times were the drums, piano and bass guitar close ups are going through a cycle of close up shots, each of these instruments will have been editted in so that it looks exactly in time with the music.
