EVALUATION - Question 1, Section B

1)      A shot that shows a link between lyrics and/or music and visuals

This is a shot form Bruno Mars’ song ‘Just the way you are’. This picture of Bruno Mars creating a picture of the female character, with great emphasis to her hair (as he plays with it) is brought into the video as he sings the lyrics; ‘her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying’. Showing a link between the lyrics and visuals.

2)      A shot that typifies (symbolises) the way a record company would want their artist to be represented

This is a shot from Michael Jacksons ‘Bad’ video. It shows him performing a dance routing whilst singing the lyrics of the song. His record company would want him to presented not as just a singer but an all-round performer; giving him a larger fan base. He is also at the front of the group of dancers, showing importance.

3)      A shot that illustrates music genre

This shot from the Kings Of Leon song ‘Sex on Frie’ shows the band performing there song, using electric guitars and wearing skiny jeans and vests. These props and costumes in shot the shot are typically used in rock video’s, as well as the bands/artists performing their songs (using mic’s).

4)      A shot that shows an inter-textual reference

This shot is taken from the song 'Just Lose It' by Eminem. This particular shot shows Eminem dressed as Michael Jackson, walking on tiles which ligh up - making reference to Michael Jackson's video 'Billie Jean', where the tiles light up when Michael Jackson walks on them.

5)      A shot that demonstrates use of camera

This shot was taken from Kanye Wests’ song ‘All falls down’. In this clip the female character is talking directly to the camera; as if we are the male character (Kanye). This enticed the audience and we feel part of the video.

6)      A shot that demonstrates use of lighting

This shot from Michael Jacksons – Billie Jean, shows a very clever use of lighting. Every time Michael Jackson steps on one of the concrete slabs it lights up, around the time of the release of this video is was one of the first to use an effect like this; making it very effective.

7)    A shot that demonstrates use of mise-en-scene

This shot from the Black Eyed Peas song ‘Rock that body’ shows a good use of Mise-en-scene. One of the band members, Will.I.Am is the main character/feature in this shot and we can see that he is holding a big gun. We can also see the legs of a large robot behind him.

8)    Two shots which you feel demonstrate something which shows you have watched other music videos

This shot is from Lily Allens 'Not Fair', it shows the focus on the solo female artist singing/performing her song into the microphone; a shot which i have used within my video.

9) This shot is take from Green Day's 'Wake me up when Spetember ends', it shows part of the narrative story which is based around a couple (shown in the picture). My video also uses this concept, of the narrative being based on a couple.
