Analysing a Level 4 Music Video

Analysing a Level 4 Music Video

1. Editing

While you are editing can cut on the beat or to the bar in order to make the video flow with the track it was created for.

2. Variety of Shot Size and Locations

This keeps the film interesting while it does not over complicate the filming by keeping within 4 locations.

3Attention to Framing

 Your framing can have an effect on the audience by influencing on what in the shot they focus on for example if your singer is show singing the lyrics from a close up shot obviously your whole shot will be taken up with the singer forcing the audience to concentrate on their emotions and actions.

4. Mise en scene/ camera/ editing/ all reflect the eeriness of the film

 These things when used in the music video will all portray a certain mood or meaning so when deciding for example the lighting in the shot you need to think about what different effects it can have e.g. a darker shot could portray death or suffering while a lighter shot could show happiness.

5. Lip Sync was Accurate

An accurate lip sync makes the video more believable and easier to watch  for the audience.

6. Narrative- Gothic/Fairy Tale

The images create enigma.
