James Morrison
1. This video by James Morrison and Nelly Furtado.
I chose to analyse this video it is a duet by a
male and female artist. I believe this is quite
relevant to my groups potential music video as
it consists of a male and female artist.
From looking at certain shots in this video I have
concluded that there are many mid shots of the
artist performing as James is singing and
performing the guitar. This music video is heavily
based on performance which I think is important
to include on a music video.
This shot at the beginning starts of with a slow
pace pan. I think this is a very good way to start
of a music video as it gives a sense of what type
of genre and the type of song it is
Also in this music video it shows that there is limited
locations, however to keep the audience interested there
is many different shots of James which is constantly
getting changed over from close ups, mid shots and long
shots. This means there is a lot of camera work involved in
this music video.
I have also noticed that there are
a lot of close ups of the two
artists This is important as it
emphasises their role. Also the
editing used are slow paced
simple cuts, as well as some
fades.
2. These are a few of the many shots included in the video which shoes
James performance aspect to the video. The guitar is used as it is an
important prop to the actual instrumental of the song. Also like this
shot as it shows the female silhoutte.
3. Shot reverse shot is used
when both the female part
changed to males part in the
song.
The transparent Nelly is a
smart way of using
technology in music video as
it shows she is there in the
video, however James cannot
see her. Also there is a mid
shot of both their hands
touching between a glass
panel. This is when they both
are singing the lines together.
Which shows that when two
artists sing the same lyrics, it
gives me an idea to film both
artists together.
4. Destruction of props may also
compliment the lyrics as the song
title is called ‘broken strings’
which may suggest it a
emotional/break up song.
