FEATURES TO LOOK FOR
|
GENERAL EXAMPLE
|
DETAILED EXAMPLE
|
Genre Characteristics
|
Band are shown performing with a microphone, guitar and drum set (typical indie band)
|
Artist in narrative part of video is shown wearing a hoodie and jeans, stereotypical outfit of an indie/rock singer to wear
|
Relationships between lyrics and visuals?
|
The band are seen performing in what looks like an empty car park and are singing along with the lyrics (throughout video)
|
2:40-2:52 - shows the artist singing along however visuals present as if he is on a news channel being interviewed
|
Relationships between music and visuals?
|
During guitar at the very beginning of song the artist's footsteps are in time to the music
|
Towards the end of the song when the chorus begins for the third/fourth time, the editing is sped up showing that time is passing
|
Close ups of the artist/star motifs?
|
When band members are performing there are a few close ups of them (throughout the video)
|
2:00-2:04 shows the emotion on the artist's face
3:18-3:20 - close up of artist in the rain showing he is upset
|
Reference to the notion of looking?
|
0.14-0.16 - Danny looks right into camera
|
2:00-2:04, camera pans and the artist follows it. This is also linked to the above as it's a close up shot to show emotion
|
Intertextual references
|
|
Used when the artist is "featured on the news" - there is a news reporter and the screen says "BREAKING NEWS" implying that the artist is actually being interviewed on the news
|
Performance/Narrative/Concept based - how much of each?
|
Narrative and Performance
|
Just about equal; the video is both performance and narrative. The band are shown a lot whilst performing in the empty car park as well as the lead singer being shown acting in the narrative.
