Music Video Close Analysis
In this analysis, I have picked apart the music video uploaded by mgmtmusic of the song “Little Dark Age” (developed by MGMT). I have paid particular attention towards the the 80s aesthetic focus of the video, as well as the theme of death and mystery clearly illustrated through the usage of colours black and those which contrast, reflecting perhaps a certain amount of class divide in clothing.
Music Video Form & Conventions
I watched and analysed three different music videos, deconstructing each one and decoding its themes, and how the performance/narrative reflect such themes. As well as the themes, I’ve seen how each aspect of the video fits in with conventions to the medium as a whole, as well as attempting to compare it to the genres they exist within.
