2. Within this PowerPoint I will be analysing a music video from the R&B genre.
The video I have decided to analyse is Alicia keys – No one.
Introduction

3. The genre of this song is R&B
The genre of the video
The first shot in the video is the
insides of a very expensive piano
showing that the artist has a lot of
money and they can afford the
better lifestyle. I can also tell this is
an R&B video from this as this is a
typical instrument used in the R&B
genre many R&B artist play pianos
while they perform .
This is another shot to show the
audience that this is an R&B
video, you can see the artist is in a
bit room of what we can imagine
is a big house most likely a
mansion. Having a mansion in a
R&B video is a very typical
convention of a R&B video.

4. Setting and Décor
From this shot you can see the décor is
very basic with just a lamp and some
open curtains. Doing this adds
emphasis to the artist as the are the
main object in the room .The light also
adds emphasis to the artist as the light
illuminate s them bringing them to
your attention
They have added a scene with the
artist surrounded by musical
instrument's, with her playing her
iconic piano, seeing this setting you
instantly know its Alicia Keys as she is
know for her piano playing skills hence
the name ‘keys’

5. Costume
Throughout the video the artist is wearing
simple outfits to make sure too much attention
is not drawn away from her. She wears two
casual outfits and two more glamorous outfits
but still very simple.The glamorous outfits are
quite tight to pull you in to looking at the artist
as this has a sex appeal about it.

6. Props
This video is very simple and there
very little props however this is one
prop that is used.This prop is used
to advertise a product that Alicia
Keys is clearly sponsored by, it is
likely that she has a deal with Sony
so she must advertise there
products in her videos.

7. Body language and movement
Alicia Keys’ movement is used to change into another
scene. She stands up and walks over to the wall and as
she's walking the camera pans along with her and moves
into another scene .

8. Performance
The performance for this video
is very much Alicia Keys playing
her piano or keyboard lip
synching along to the music.
She does this in multiple
different locations.

9. For this video there isn't really a narrative at all the video is just based
around the artist playing her musical instrument in different locations.
