Technical conventions.

It has good lip syncing and it edits to the beat. It uses the rule of thirds effectively by keeping the main star in the centre or to the side with loads of lead space.

Narrative and performance.

There is a 50/50 ratio of narrative and performance. The narrative is about someone who quits their job and starts living a comfortable life instead.

How has the star been created

The star has a certain view on life. This is clearly shown when he rips his ID after leaving his job.  The video has been styled with colours and patterns reflecting the ideas that the Star has.

This is my analysis of an old students music video. I like this music video because it has a good representation of the star and the Mise-en-scene is shown very well through the use of patterns and a mixture of colours. Its editing is very successful as it edits to the beat and the lip sycing is done well.  The Camera is used creatively and has multiple interesting angles but I feel like there could have been more close ups.

This will help me analyse, decode and deconstruct future music videos when considering the success criteria.
