The music video for "Fishing for a Dream" by Turin Brakes uses camerawork, editing, mise-en-scene, and sound design to contrast the band members with glamorous female characters and portray a personal, intimate story amid chaotic scenes. Camera shots include mid-close ups and close ups of excited women to emphasize glamour, while regular cuts focus on the male characters' more subdued performances. The men dress casually in contrast to a woman in a dress, and the run-down urban location is juxtaposed with a red carpet, representing both good and bad aspects. Non-diegetic acoustic music creates a private atmosphere until it stops at the end.

1. Turin Brakes- fishing for a dream

2. Camerawork
Two shot of the two
whilst people jump
around them- they are
different and perhaps
more personal
Looking straight into the
camera- again personal
and more emotional
Range of mid-close ups
and close ups of
women- glamour

3. Editing
Cross-cutting between two male
characters and female- contrast
being emphasized of her glamour
and beauty

Mostly regular cuts-
keeps on the theme of
being personal and
being quite simple

4. Mise en scene
male characters in
shirt and jeans
whilst female in
dress- contrast
shown
Urban quite run down
area but with red carpet-
shows there is good
things there
A lot of flashing from
cameras- suggests
glamour and being
famous

5. Sound
• Music is acoustic and very melodic- contrasts
with chaotic scenes of people jumping round
• No diegetic sound- just music- makes it very
personal and private as if there is no outside
influence- apart from at the end where there
is no music
