This video is a low budget Rock video as there is no story line going along with this video. There are many close ups and medium shots used from a low angle, this is to give the viewer the illusion of seeing them on a stage. This is effective for the viewer as it keeps them aspiring to the musicians due to ther etalent.
The editing similar to that of hey there delilah has been made to make the viewer entertained by splitting up the screen to show a bunch of different shots. It gives more action than there really is.
The setting that has been chosen is very effective as later in the piece there is a lot of lighting effects used making the scene visually interesting, it has a certain appeal nearer the end due to this fact. The performers are dressed in pretty normal clothes and havent seemed to have linked themselves to any stereotype, they do not have long hair and statement making clothing on they all look pretty normal.
The Performance is a bit lacking in certain areas for example the lead guiatarist seems uneasy when headbangin in time with everyone else and doesnt look very easy with the style of movement. Other than that all performance is effective as the performers seem to really get into the music.
good analysis but say how you can use these low budget techinques
ReplyDeleteAlso remember to least and capitalize the names of music videos, books and films (if you can't italicize them).
ReplyDeleteGood mention of the split screen Tom, but make sure you also point out the energy of the song and how this is reflected in the quick editing and constantly moving camera work.
Don't waffle and be specific: "there is a lot of lighting effects used making the scene visually interesting" doesn't mean very much. Be specific about what lighting effects and what they do to the audience. Equally "pretty normal clothes" doesn't mean anything really - pretty normal for an Indian farmer? You need to describe the clothes and performance and what this tells us about the band/potential target audience.

Tom, you still need to complete several of the items on the check list: 9-11 (The theories on editing) 14 and 15 (Genre research) 17 (Record label research) 17 (Advertising research) 18 and 19 (Audience Research). I may have mis-counted some of your music video analysis-es, could number your blog entries in the title with the task number?
