1. Name: Gameel Saleh Music Video: Chris Brown With You
Mise-en-scene (What colours, sets and props are used? Why?)
Narrative – What is the story of the music video, characters, settings, conflicts, In the Mise en scene there are a lot of bright colours like red orange yellow from the lights
resolutions? shining of the cars at night they are very bright and stand out clearly. The music video is shot
in the city next to a lot of shop and a cinema you can see in the background it starts near a
The narrative of this music video is about a guy who meets a girl at the bus
bus stop where he meets the girl and does his moves on the pavement. This is a suitable
stop and she gets in the bus and he walks of and misses his chance he is location for the video because it is kind of romantic the way he first meets her and he cannot
chasing a women he loves and he tries his hardest on reaching out to her. The get her out of his mind. They made it more natural and real not fake like what they make in a
video is set in an urban place the city where there are a lot of roads bus stops studio but realistically made on the street on a normal road this what will connect to the
and corner shops. I think this is a suitable location because it romantic where audience and viewer.
they meet each other I think they chosen this location so they can reach out to
the females because they would be interested in this type of video. The video Target Audience – Who is the music video for?
ends up with him meeting the girl again and finally has the chance to tell her
The target audience for this type of music video would be aimed at teenagers but mostly
how she feels. women and whoever is interested in this genre. The reason why I think this is because
women are attracted to this male artist and he is singing a love song to a women he is
chasing and in a female perspective they would think this is romantic and would want their
boyfriend to do the same thing to her making her feel special. The reason why I think this is
targeted at a young teen audience is because it’s a hip hop/pop and these two genre relate
to the audience I have chosen because the genre is young and fresh.
Camera Shots – What shots are used and why? Editing – Describe the different editing choices made?
The shots used in this music video… there were a lot of different types of shots in the It’s above obvious that this music video has been edited if you watch it you can tell that only
music video like close ups, mid shots and a bird’s eye view shot but the ones most used bits of it has been edited such as when you see him spinning on his feet the sweater he is
were a long shots and extreme long shot the reason why they used this in the video wearing changes colour each time and that’s impossible so you can obviously see that it has
because they wanted to see the whole setting around while he is dancing and that’s been edited also the part where he’s on his knees in the middle of the road the car lights
another reason to why they used these two particular shots the most because he was that keep constantly flashing past him but you cannot see the car it has been edited to make
dancing they want the audience to see his movement of his feet. it look like there were cars but it’s just lights flashing it’s a clever editing technique called
slow shutter speed what it does basically when you’re taking a picture you can just select
shutter speed on the camera settings and take the image of for example all the cars driving
buy on the freeway it will blur all the lights together but when you are filming you after put it
on after the shot on after effect because it would not work at the same time you are filming.
Music Video style – What style is used and why?
The style of this music video is 65% performance based and 35% narrative based the reason
why I think this is because if you watch the whole video he is most of the time dancing
jumping around twisting and turning so that’s basically a performance because that’s what
an artist does at a concert and he gave it that feeling. Why I put 35% based on the narrative
of the music video is because it does tell a story about how he meets a girls and ends up
being with the girl but it doesn’t show anything between those two between it he is showing
his movements that’s the reason why performance is higher than the narrative.
