For this task, we were asked to conduct a detailed analysis on 2 music videos, one shown to the whole class and one of our own, personal choice. The music videos were:
- Thursday – Jess Glyne (this was watched by the whole class)
- Confessions of a Dangerous Mind – Logic (My own choice)
Below is both sheets of analysis for each of the music videos I watched:
These music videos showed that:
- Hidden meanings are everywhere in songs and can be easily placed but well hidden
- A lot of songs nowadays are artists telling the world, in the form of music, that they are human and are affected by normal events
- A lot can be done in 3.30 minutes
This will help me with my music video by making me put more thought in the shots and mise-en-scene that I use to create deeper meanings in cohesion with the lyrics of the song.
Below are the music videos I analyzed:
