Music video analysis

This video for "Give Me What I Want" by Kids In Glass Houses is really what inspired us for our music video, the reason for this is because it takes place at a house party. As the video starts we see the camera moving at a moderate pace along a brick wall, this is the way the camera stays throughout the video and I think this level of simplicity works in context with the song. As the song starts the first shot we see is of the band, they are dressed smartly which gives us an indication about what the band is like. The camera continues to pan through different rooms of the house and throughout the video we see the same rooms, the same people but the situation changes, this is an aspect I find really interesting within the whole music video. The fact that this video is documenting friends having fun is what really appeals to me. The camera angles,close ups and the way the camera tracks through the video don't change and I think it creates a connection to the auidience and makes us feel like we are expirencing the house party with the band.

Music video analysis

 In the video for "You and Me" by One Night Only we really get a feel for what the band is about, frienship. At the start of the video we see the band walking across a field getting ready to performe, behind them is their friends an dI think this element of the video is very nice. The video has been shot in Black and White something I find particually lovely about the video because your eye isn't tempted to wonder it's just you, the video and the band and it really helps gage your interest. Throughout the video we see various close ups of the band playing there instruments something that in the music world most band are critisised for ( not actually playing their instruments) and the reason for the close ups of them playing their instruments could be their way of saying, we are a real band. The fact that the band are playing a gig for their friends just goes to show the type of band they are, they like being surrounded by their music and their friends, this is something I would like our video to have elements of.

Music Video Analysis

 This video for Mumm-Ra's She's Got You High starts with a mid shot of people looking round a museum. As the music starts we then see various shots of the band looking almost as if they are part of an exhibition. As the drums kick in the band members come to life, this gives the audience something new to focus on. As the video progresses the other exhibits in the exhibtion begin to move this gives the auidence a narrative to follow. The idea of having a museum element to the video works well in context with the song. The song is about a man falling in love with someone who doesn't notice him and he looks at her like a piece of art, and this video follows that idea very well.

Mcfly-Five Colours In Her Hair Video Analysis

This video was the first video the world ever saw of Mcfly, the video presents the band as young,fresh faced and most importantly different; at the time this video came out there were very few bands like Mcfly around and this video is them saying, its okay to like us, its okay to be different and who cares if your a weirdo we're weirdo's too. The majority of the video is shot in colour apart from the shots with the young girl and her family all of whom are in black and white and she is the only one in colour emphasising to the audience how different this girl is from her family. The shots of the band have been shot in a basic studio with an audience surrounding them whilst playing. I think this is a great first video because it shows the band doing what they do love whilst running with a simple narritive.
