This video analysis summarizes the music video "Don't Wake Me Up" by Avicii. It begins in a country setting contrasted with an urban city setting at the end. The main character, portrayed by a white girl, is meant to feel different from the similarly dressed background people, as indicated by a sign on her arm. Costumes show the contrast between the main character, dressed modernly, and the backgrounds dressed in old, dirty clothes. Camera work includes bird's-eye views, mirror shots, and low angle shots. Fast editing with establishing shots, eye line matches, and contrasts show the transition from country to city genres.

1. Video Analysis
Looking at Country/ Pop Video
DON’T WAKE ME UP – BY AVICII
BY ABUL KALAM

2. Mise en scene
Locations: Old fashioned urban setting contrast with
the city setting at the end
At the start of the music
video the artist shows
A country based location
to visualize the setting.
Country genre is
Becoming really popular
and the genre is mixing in
within the music industry
and becoming normal like
for example of this video u
start with country and
then they end with a
clubbing sence

3. casting
 Casting: in this video they used a white girl who
represents the artist narrative story. They used this
young girl to show the difference between the
normal people and her. In the video she's different
whereas everyone else is the same. The story tells us
that she don’t belong hear , I can tell this because
there is a sign on her arm.

4. Costume/ Props
 Costume/ Props used in the video shoes the contrast between the main
actor and people at the back ground. The use of mis en scene shows the
contrast as people was dressed old fashioned as they were wearing very
old dirty cloth , where as on the other hand the main actor looked
modern she had straight hair leather jacket which helped us to see the
difference straight away. At the start the main character mis en scene
was very old fashioned and she didn't’t stand out but through out the
video use of mis en scene I was able to tell the difference. The lighting
was very bright and sunny, with dusty floor. This shows modern
country setting.
This picture
shows that
she's moving
from the
country to the
city

5. Camera work
1. Birds eye view: nice perspective, allows us to see the
full image of the main actor
2. Goodwins Notion of looking
Mirror shot. It allows us to see the artist emotions
3. Low angle walking away shot
Allows us to see the finishing of the video

6. Editing
 In this video there are a lot of edits. Its very fast
passed as it shows contrast . There's a lot of eye line
match and establishing shot to show the artist and
the area of the video. With the establishing shot I can
tell that it’s a country genre. Eye line match allowed
us to see that there are some difference between the
actor and the audience.
