2. Alan Walker - Faded
Alan Walker
This music video is a narrative / conceptual music video as it tells us a story
but it makes us question things.
This music video is quite slow paced to begin with but gets faster as the music
progresses. This is evident by having more cuts closer together in the music
video. This creates a sense of faster pace.
The artist is present in this music video as the main character. This is done to
create a sense of isolation around the artist’s image.
3. Media Techniques
This is similar to
titanium in where the
protagonist is facing
isolation. This can be
reflected in the lyrics “So
lost. I’m faded”
The shot used here is an establishing shot. This
was to establish the setting and show that the
area is isolated. This is enforced by having Alan
in the frame to show how small he is compared
to the surrounding area.
This conveys the isolation
that Alan is facing. The
video uses illustrative
narrative as the video
reflects the lyrics.
In terms of perspective the
artist is quite small in this shot.
This could have been done to
show how small he is
compared to the wider and
broader world.
4. Repesentation
The clothing used to portray the artist
is quite rugged and trashy. Almost as if
the artist is homeless. This is done to
give an effect to isolation to the
character.
This prop photo
is used to give the
character a sense
of meaning or
purpose which is
later revealed in
the song
5. Martin Garrix - Animals
Martin Garrix
This music video is a narrative music video about a group of dancers who
vandalise objects and cars.
This music video has slow motion throughout the music video which gives it a
slow paced feel.
The Artist is not physically present in this video but it is assumed that he is the
DJ. This portrays the artist as a DJ.
6. Representation
This mid shot is used to
show the actions of this
person at this moment in
time. It shows him holding
his head. This could signify
drugs used at parties such as
these.
This is emphasised by the use of
shallow focus. This keeps the
focus on this person. This creates
a tunnel vision effect.
