OF A MUSIC VIDEO
By Ben Sexton
Two door cinema club- What You Know
The common codes and conventions of the music video for two
door cinema clubs song is that its lively with a white bland
background but with all people in the video wearing brightly
coloured items in order to show off the different people, the
fact the band have guitars and old school microphones makes
the viewer of the video think it’s a folky/ rock genre music
video. The band also stand on blocks to show they are the
group and show themselves of which we will aim to do in our
video with Mel and Lucy being the “Jordi fan club”. The mise en
scene is bright plain background to highlight the illuminated
colours.
George Ezra- Budapest
The mise en scene for the song Budapest is musical
instruments used in the video to highlight the genre of
music and show to the audience the song will be folky.
The use of high key lighting is used to outline the
specific artist. Crowd shot used to create the
atmosphere of being a busy crowd. The cameras
angles used in the videos are a medium close up and
also lip syncing shots in order to create the idea of the
artist singing to the audience. The types of editing cuts
that are used in the music video is jump cutting and
sideways cutting.
Bastille- Pompeii
The music video to Bastilles Pompeii uses many different
close ups in order to highlight the main singer. The use
of bland and dark colours is used in order to highlight
the emotion in the song. The use of distance shots in
order to show the background to capture the bland and
dark mise en scene. Throughout the video the mise en
scene remains the same with the dark bland traditional
setting
Mumford and Sons- Little lion man
The traditional folk song by Mumford and Sons has a traditional video
which we will aim to do in our final piece. The use of all the instruments
in the video is a common code and convention in order to identify the
genre and an idea we will use in our final piece. The mise en scene is a
dull background but with several separate bright lights in order to
highlight the rock band.
