Here is my close analysis of Katy Perry – Chained to the Rhythm

Here is my close analysis of Sigrid – Don’t Feel Like Crying

This task made me take a deeper look into music videos and how every aspect of them such as mise en scene or camera can help portray the intended narrative. As I have now looked at 6 music videos and analysed them to varying degrees of closeness, I think I now have a good understanding of what the conventions of a music video are and how to make my own music video as successful as it can be.

For example I have now decided that I will aim to have a combination of performace and narrative even if one aspect is more prominent than the other. I am also determined to use an amplified narrative as is all of the music videos that I have studied that is what has been used. It also means that I can be creative with my storyline and include interesting symbolism with the audience still understanding the connection unlike in disjunctive narratives.
