5. Analysing
• Divide your page into four the same way you did
last year (cinematography, mise-en-scene, editing
and sound).
• Make notes of anything you notice that is
significant or interests you.
• The main goal of these analyses is to help you
understand what you expect from typical music
videos and what you can take from them to
inspire your own.

6. Over to you…

7. Each analysis should include at least
the following:
• Artist and track name.
• Why you are analysing (to help inspire your own video)
• Genre of the music
• What happens in the video
• How it relates to the song lyrics
• Narrative
• Cinematography
• Editing
• Mise-en-scene
• How does this video help you?
