Music Video Analysis B

Title:   Eyes Set To Kill - Broken Frames
Length:   2:55

Description:
This video I've chosen to analyse because it's down the band name, also this video takes a lighter approach to the videos, whilst still keeping the darkened affect throughout. It has various cut scenes, along with a lot of disorientation, and back light effects.

Textual Analysis:
Camera Work:

• Mid Shots to give a perspective of the person along with showing a brief view of the location.
• Close Ups of sections that have been picked up along the way, or of the musical instruments. 
• Full Shots shown of the story character wondering around, giving a visual perspective of the story outline.
• Stationary Camera but used on a track, which allows to follow the group and video without any shaking and irrelevant and unwanted shaking in the video.

Mise-En-Scene:

• Wooded area, allowing lighting effects and the story to take place.
• Lead singer changes clothing numerous times to give different effects during the video.

Sound:

• Recorded song, with video added afterwards.
• Microphone.
• Stereo Sounding.
• Basic Singing, subtle and calm (Female Vocalist.)
• Screaming, loud, vigorous (Male Vocalist.)

Editing:

• Lots of cut scenes at the beginning, which is a nice effect before the song starts.
• Cuts to the story constantly, keeping the viewer enticed with the outcome of the story.
• Shifting effects, looking like slight judders which adds a sense of power to the song.
• When the light bulb is being put into the ground, editing of the recorded video to remove the hand, so small sections of it being screwed in added together to create this.
• A progressive blurry effect added to some parts of the video, I love this effect as it seems really thought out where it should be implemented into the video (See Image Below.)

Extras:

• The lighting effects used within the video are used to their full advantage, getting the best possible outcome, it would be a great effect to do (See Image Below.)

• I enjoy the fact that they put a light bulb in the ground, it's quite inspiring although fairly easy to do, it's unique.
