Music video analysis 5

The camerawork for this video is all really simple it consists mainly of just close ups, long shots and mid shots but from different angles- side on or head on. The close ups are all mainly just of either body parts or there was a couple shots of an instrument being played and some of random different objects as well. All of the different shots come across screen very fast all the time which will definitely avoid viewer fatigue because most shots hardly last any time at all so they are seeing a great variety of shots for the whole video.

The mise-en-scene of the video is very simple as well, it is all shot in one location which looks like it is just a dark room with an overhead spotlight. Although there is only this one location it does not develop viewer fatigue because of the pace that all of the shots come on screen. The clothing thats being worn is also very casual which is expected of the genre so it makes sense that they are in such expected clothing. There are quite a few different people that appear on screen but they are all dressed quite casually as well.

The editing is also really simple it has just cut shots between all of the shots to make it seem so quick while switching between shots. There has been a black and white effect put on the video which does make it look quite good because it makes the video look different to other videos in this genre giving it some individuality form other videos.

The sound consists of just the song being played in which you are able ot hear thelyrics as well. There is no additional sound such as talking in cuts between the song at any point. Also there is no lip sync for the whole of the video I think the person in the main focus of the shot is doing sign language that is showing what is being said in the song.
