This document provides a textual analysis of shots, camera movements, lighting, costumes, settings, and edits in a music video. It analyzes how these elements establish the setting of a diner and friendship between characters. Shots of food help set the scene and represent the artist as ordinary. A shot of a pretty girl and TV relate to the song lyrics. Shots at a party emphasize a party vibe through smoke and lack of clothing. Elements like male gaze, slow motion, and focus are used to emphasize the rebellious themes of the song and artist's changed image.

1. Music Video Textual Analysis_________________________________________________
Shot type and camera movement
Long shot showing friends together and
a tracking shots.
Analysis
This long shot helps to establish the setting,
which is a diner and the friendship between
the six men. They are all walking quite close
together which signifies that they are a close
friendship group. As we see them walk in
together, it makes the audience feel like they
are there with them. The long shot makes
audience feel like they are walking behind
them, therefore feeling included within the
video.
The lighting is low key to show that it is set
at night however; it is lit up by the diner
sign.
The mise-en-scene used in costume is very
casual and laid back, showing that this
group of friends are stereotypical young men
who are going out to chill together, making
the setting more relatable for the audience.
The audience can only see the back of the
friendship group in this shot, which adds an
element of mystery because we are not able
to identify anyone, other than Nick.
Music/lyrics
“Pretty mind, silk thoughts
Start a fire when you turn the lights off”
Edit/transitions
A lot of cuts to show how time is passing and
then cuts to a man in the diner eating.
Shot type and camera movement
Close up of a piece of bacon, because
that’s also the title of the song. Shallow
focus.
Analysis
The music video is set in a diner, so showing
food cooking helps to establish the setting
and make the audience feel like a part of the
setting.
The close up shows quite dull colours,
showing that the diner is nothing fancy,
therefore the audience can relate with the
artist, as the music video is low-middle class.
This represents Nick as a normal person,
instead of the audience seeing him as a
celebrity, who we would imagine to eat at
posh 5* restaurants.
Music/lyrics
“Yooouuu”
Edit/transitions
2 second shot of the bacon to help enhance

2. the song lyrics and also the break to where
the next verse begins cuts to mid shot of
ordinary man in diner.
Shot type and camera movement
Long shot and pan
Analysis
Having a pretty girl is a convention of the
pop genre and the shallow to deep focus
allows the audience to concentrate on her
whilst Nick is singing.
The camera is only on her for a short
amount of time but the take is long enough
for the audience to understand that Nick has
an interest in her, as it also goes with the
lyrics of the song.
Music/lyrics
“You’re perfect, but I’m not”

Pan to another part of the diner
Shot type and camera movement
Long shot of TV
Analysis
When Ty Dolla $ign comes into the song, the
music video cuts to a long shot of a table in
the diner with a TV on it. This goes with the
lyrics as the first lyric he sings includes the
word “movie” which you would associate
with TV.
Music/lyrics
“Girl every time we get together it’s a
movie”

Cuts to long shot of setting originally shown
on TV
Shot type and camera movement
Long shot and low angle
Analysis
The smoke from the cars and the low key
lighting gives this clip a party vibe and there
is a strong focus on male gaze, as there are
girls in a lack of clothing surrounding Ty
Dolla $ign.
The camera is quite unsteady, which tells the
audience that the situation is out of control,
further showing the party setting.
Music/lyrics
“And it’s hard to just let go like that”
Edit/transitions
Cuts to mid shot of male gaze

3. Shot type and camera movement
Long shot with shallow focus
Analysis
A slow motion tilt is used to show male gaze,
which is a common convention for the pop
genre. A shallow focus is used to bring the
audience’s attention to the male gaze
however, this is slightly to the right of the
screen and not in the centre, therefore it is
also important for the audience to notice the
other girls out of focus who are also in a lack
of clothing, further emphasising the
rebellious side of this song, as Nick Jonas is
usually seen as innocent, so he is clearly
trying to change his image.
Music/lyrics
“And you love what keeps you coming
back”
