Taio Cruz - Break Your Heart
http://www.muzu.tv/taiocruz/break-your-heart-music-video/279239?country=gb
The video is all about a couple and they do not think they should go out or their relationship will last, due to them always being with the other sex and being rich in flash cars, nightclubs and on yacht boats with 3/4 girls/boys all around him, they both get jealous but still love each other and wants to be with one another. At the beginning she is following him and he is not that bothered about her but then starts seeing her feelings for him when is surrounded by other girls but concentrates on her instead showing his love for her has grown, this is also the case when she is surrouded by men and he is just watching her and at the end they are together on a boat like a couple and now have stopped making one another jealous.
The artist is lipsinging in the video, lots of camera shots are used mainly the master shot to show which environment they are in and also medium/close up shots of the main two characters to show their facial expression. The video is edited together with lots of shots from different environments, and showing one another and their actions to make each other jealous, shot reverse shot is used as well to make sure and show the viewer that the character sees the other characters actions to make the other one jealous.
Leona Lewis - Run
http://www.muzu.tv/leonalewis/run-music-video/55768?country=gb
This video is very simple and basic it is situated in one place so it was quick to make due to only having to film in one environment. It was cheap to do as it was doen in a forrest and natural place which had no cost to rent out or on propps etc.
The artist lipsings the song throughout the whole video, it is a slow song it this is shown from the video from not much happening if this was not the case then it is unlikely that the video would work with lots of quick, shots of different people or places due to the beat and speed of the song. The camera editing in one stage when walking down a long track/road it fades out and the next clip is where she is seen in the forrest, the lighting throughout the video is dark and as the song goes on she moves closer to a light and the light is shone brighter, this also works with the song as the end of the song is stronger and louder than the begining where it is quiet and slow. A high angle shot is used to show her situtated in the middle of know where in the middle of the track. When in the forrest medium shots are mostly used and close-ups when the main chorus is played and she singings it loud and meaningful and the close-up is used to catch the meaning of the lyrics and her emotion.
Little Boots - Remedy
http://www.muzu.tv/littlebootscdlikvntdf/remedy-music-video/281251?country=gb
This video is set in a music studio i can tell this by the propps used such as a keyboards, volume control, glass window etc. The lighting is quiet dim in the video as expected in a music studio with one main light. Her clothing and jewellery she is wearing is silver and diferent to a normal dress or jewellery they are both weirdly shaped and this fits in with the effects used and the camera zooms in with her large triangular clip in her hair and it is then zoomed out into a special effect. Effect are used on her face, to exadurate her singing, the keyboard/hands to show her playing and even just her lips to show her lipsigning to the song.
The editing is very quick and we see her lipsinging to the song when lying on her keyboard this is the longest part of editing then we see lots of shots in a short space of time, these are all the effects used in the editing of her face,l ips, playing of the keyboard and lighting in the room from a birds eye room. In the effects the lighting is very important and lights are flashing all over the place in the effects part which enthasises the effect as, so much is going on with the bright lights and the weird effect so it is hard to keep up and it looks a little bit weird.
The Prodigy - Omen
http://www.muzu.tv/theprodigy/omen-music-video/61723?country=gb
This video is a very simple and basic idea, it is of a live gig that the band have played, it involves lots of flashing lights, effects, showing the artists signing, the drummer hitting the drums and the crows going crazy.
The song is very fast and upbeat so the editing is very quick and any one clip does not stay on for long, it is all edited very quick to keep up with the song and the beat. The lighting used varies from green, red, blue or yellow. The camera quality is not great as a steady camera was not used but this adds to the type of video they have used and as it is live having it steady would not fit the critera for the song nor the video as it is at a live gig where the viewer will know if he has been to a gig that you never just stand still when seeing someone like the prodigy and you are jumping all over the place.
At the begining, the middle and the end the song is inturrupted due to the type of instrument used in the song a xylophone is used and the footage from the gig stops for a few seconds and the camera moves in on a girls holding and playing the xylophone. The camera moves in on the girl and it finishes with a close up and moves into the gig. This automatically strikes the viewer as a young girl would not be associated with the prodigy.
Bloc Party - I Still Remember
http://www.muzu.tv/BlocParty/i-still-remember-music-video/470?country=gb
This video is situated on train, it is very clever and plays with the viewers mind, the camera moves down the train with each time a singer from the band walking towards the camera and down the train. The people sitting down on the train are often the people from the band and usually the person walking down the train with 4/5 duplicates of them sitting down each doing something different from listening to an i-pod, reading the newspaper, holding instrument or playing with a football, just what you would expect and see in normal life.
The video uses computer editing due to a camera not being able to duplicate people, blue screen is used as the train is always the same. The editing is continuous in stage one where it follows the signer walking down the train through each carrage, and also when it stops and starts videoing from outside of the train and we see it going through a number of trains side way on, but with the same but just at different times and in different scenarious such as whether he is on his own with friends and also the weather outside liek sunny, snowing or raining.
The begining and the end are from real life and are real train stations the first clip shows you what you would naturally see when leaving a train station looking out the back and then the camera moves back into the carrage. Mise en scene is used for the first person we see is a man in a officer suit looking for people to check tickets. At the end the video zooms at out the last carrage where the band is playing and it zooms out into the country where the train is lost and stops in the middle of know where.
