Analysis of Student Music Video



Mise en scene: The costumes we well thought out and fit well with the genres generic conventions and the chosen storyline of their video. This video shows very good use of different locations, each of the locations used fit well with the story line of the video and kept it interesting.
Sound: No extra diegetic sound has been used.
Camera Angles: The shots were varied and kept the video interesting. They have also used shots that are stereotypical of the chosen band, such as the low angle on the guitar solo.



Narrative: The storyline is conveyed very well and it is clear to the audience all the way through. It fit very well with the lyrics and kept the audience engaged without being overwhelming. The performance shots follow the generic conventions of their chosen genre and also fit well with the motifs used in the bands actual music videos.

Editing: The guitars synced very well with the audio but the lip syncing wasn't quite as good. I feel that they also overused some of the transitions such as the fade. Some parts also seemed to have too many cuts so it made it difficult for the viewer to focus on what was going on in each shot.
