Linkin park in the end music video analysis

muse resistance music video analysis

I have chosen to analyse the music video resistance by muse and this is because I have gathered some ideas from the video that we could use in our music video and here is a list of the inspirations that this music video has given me:

the lighting - this is shown through out the music video and this has given me some ideas for the lighting that we can put into our music video that we will be making and some of the lighting ideas are: the spot lights, the green lasers, the lights on the walls / pillars and the lights flashing/flickering.

the way that the artists are presented - the artists are shown to be on a big stage with lots of lights and they are also in the middle of what seem to be giant pillars covered with lights and this has given me an idea of how we could present the artists in our music video

the stage - in this music video there is a massive stage in which the artists are performing on to a crowd of people and this has given me an idea on how to start off our music video as we could ask if we could use the colleges stage to film a section of our music video on.

This music video have theories from the theorists and the theories are:

Andrew Goodwin (disjunctive) - this music video is disjunctive and this is because throughout the whole of the video there is nothing that suggests that the video is linking to the lyrics in the video and I do not like this type of music video as there is no storyline and therefore it does not go with the song.

General theories - the tempo of the song drives the editing and the lighting in the video, the genre is presented by the stage performance and mise en scene, the editing is done in fast cuts to keep up with the beat

Sven E carlsson (performance clip) - this video is all shots of the artists performing at a ocncert and there fore it is a performance clip

Sven E carlsson (music) - this video has the music shaping the clips editing and the video

gorillaz feel good inc music video analysis

I have chosen to analyse the music video Feel good inc. by the Gorillaz and this is because I have gathered some ideas that we could use in our music video and some of the inspirations that I have got are:

the special effects - this is shown in the music video by all of the video being animated and this has given me an idea to use in our music video that we will be making (I have thought of using a green screen editing effect to make the person look like they are in an impossible place)

name of the song in the video (writing) - this is shown at the beginning of the music video and it says the name of the song and this has given me an idea to apply the name of the song that we will be producing a video for somewhere in the video e.g. in background, on a stage ect...

shots of the artists playing instruments - this is typical of a rock genre of music and it is shown through ought the music video and this has given me the idea to apply musical instruments into our music video.

This music video has a theory from the theorists and the theory's are:

Andrew Goodwin (disjunctive) - most of this music video is disjunctive and this is because the main structure of the video is all about the artists playing their instruments and it seems like they are at a concert performing to a crowd, I do not like this type of video in a music video as is has no storyline and therefore it does not go with the song.

Andrew Goodwin (illustrate) - there are some moments in this music video when there are moments where there is an illustrate in the video, but this is only when the lyrics windmill are sung.

Steve Archer - this music video cuts between artists performing and a bit of narrative

General theories - the genre of the music is reflected in the video and this is shown by the props, location and performance

Sven E Carlsson (Performance clip) - most of the music video is based around the artists performing and this means that this theory fits in with the video

the beastie boys fight for your right music video analysis

I have chosen to analyse the music video fight for your right by the beastie boys and this is partially because it has given me some ideas that we could put into our music video of choice and some of the inspiration that I have found are in this music video and they are:

the use of alcohol - this is shown in the music video by the beastie boys at around the time of 1:33, I have thought of using this in our music video as it can be used for many different narrative e.g. partying, drowning sorrows away, celebrating something and so on...

the use of breaking objects in the house - this is shown at the first time at around 1:38 into the music video and this is a man smashing a glass bottle over his head, then breaking objects is shown throughout the music video and some of them are: smashing guitar, HI-FI smoking, smashing TV with baseball bat and then there is a lot of cream pies being thrown around. I have thought of using this in our music video as it can be used to show aggression and hatred.

This music video have theories from the theorists and the theories are:

Andrew Goodwin (illustrate) - this is used in the video as it shows that there is a party and the two brothers that live in the house are not putting up a fight and this all links / matches to the lyrics that are in the song. I think that this is a very good way of adding to the music in the video as it does not confuse the audience and it gives the video a narrative. I think that we should use this technique when filming our music video.

Laura Mulvey (male gaze) - this is used in the music video as there are lots of girls in the clips and they do nothing important all they do is stand there and this is linked to the male gaze as it makes them objects and they are the for display only.

Sigmund Freud - this is shown in the video when the artists are staring at the girls bums and the girls are unaware of this, this is what Sigmund's theory is as it is all about sexual pleasures by looking at a sexual object.

general theories - the video establishes a link between the lyrics and the video as what is sung is seen on the video

Sven E Carlsson (performance clip) - the music video has moments when the artists are just singing and there for the theory performance clip can be applied to this music video

Sven E Carlsson (narrative clip) - the music video is mainly all narrative and therefore it is linked to the theory of narrative clip by Sven E Carlsson.

busted pre lim video

Post Production

I think that my directing skills have improved by a dramatic amount by doing this prelim, but I think that I still need to improve on it a lot more. My mise en scene listing and risk assessment has also dramatically improved and I have now got many ways to work on and improve them skills. In the making of this music video I have been proficient throughout although I think that I may need to work on my organisation skills, other than that I think that I did to the best of my capacity. Although I think that some of my skills have not yet improved I have massively improved on my weaknesses and I will now try to improve all of my skill even more over the time before we start the production of our music videos.

Production

In the duration of the production of the music video I had the role of the camera man and I was also directing the outside scene of the video. I think that my strong points were matching the shots up with the original music videos as when we uploaded them onto the Macs we compared them to the original shots and they were almost the same shots as the original, I think that I will not need to improve on this skill as it was really good. However my weakness here was my directing as I was not loud enough to tell the group what I wanted to do and others had to help me get their attention, this was a major flaw as a director is bold and brash, I would improve this skill by talking more often to members of the class who I don’t really know and I will gain in confidence.Then when we were editing our music video I think that my skill barely changed as in the first year I was on my own and I did the whole thing by myself and this gave me the chance to gain much experience with the editing. I think that my editing was improve by a little amount and if I was to improve my editing skills I would have to practice at home with more complex editing techniques.

Pre Production

At the beginning of the prelim task, the first thing that we did was go through the busted music video around 6-7 times, we produce a list of all of the props and the mise en scene in all of the scenes until the video reach the time 1:14 (doing this has improved my awareness of looking into all of the props and mise en scene), then the next step was to look into the risk assessment (this has improved my knowledge of what can be dangerous and I will now have a greater knowledge of what put on the risk assessment), once we had the risk assessment done we then moved onto making the story board and this was achieved in short time as we divided the time into around 30 seconds each and I was in charge of story boarding the last 30 seconds of the music video with Fred (this has helped me learn how to make a storyboard more faster rather than one member of the team making the whole thing and wasting time), then we got back together in our group and we had a completed story board. I think that my weaknesses were:

The risk assessment – this was because I picked out a few amounts of the risks that could potentially happen and I will try to improve this weakness by practicing in my own time e.g. at home / free periods.

Listing all of the mise en scene – this was because I did not list what was in the background and i only listed what I could see on the characters, also my listing was not clear, I will try to improve this by listing everything that I can see in every shot and I will add sub titles to improve the organisation and to make it clear.
