Steve Archer- Music Video Analysis

Camerawork
  • Camerawork is massively significant upon meaning so it is integral to the production. 
  • Movement, distance and shot all need to be analysed 
  • Movement can accompany the movement of the performer, or it can be used to create a dynamic feel to the location, such as a band performing in a field and the camera circling them.

The “Close up” 
  • Creates intimacy with the audience, 
  • but…Sells the ARTIST, not just the Song

Editing 
  • Pace of the transitions. 
  • Pace creates a mood for the video and often the pace comes with the genre. 

Voyeurism
  • This suggests that there is a voyeuristic view towards woman and the female body in music videos to please the male viewers.

Technical aspects
  • Speed: create by the camera and editing 
  • “meat”: close ups and voice 
  • Beats: rhythm of music will match the editing.
  • Light and colour : emphasises key moments creating a dramatic effect and often comes with the genre. Colour is an easy way of telling what genre the song is. 
  • Mise-en-scene: setting adds to the realness of the video.
