Analysing my least and most favourite music video

Favourite Video
Avicii vs Nicky Romero – I Could Be The One
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bek1y2uiQGA


Screenshot 1


This screenshot shows a woman going against societies normalities and rebelling against her job. Also, the main actress is not represented as other house music actresses are normally represented as she isn’t a supermodel, she is just a normal person who is relatable to people and the audience in their everyday lives.

This screenshot takes a break from the song, focuses on narrative and uses a conversation to explain the story behind the music video and what is going on. This is not a very popular technique in music videos as it usually breaks up the pace of what is wanted int ehy song. They also used many different cameras to get different angles in the scene. In the scene, they would have filmed the whole conversations a number of times to get the different angles perfectly without any other cameras in the way of the shot.

This screenshot shows what the character wants to be and do with their life. Then the video returns to reality. This is good as in the video it shows to different lifestyles and compares them together. This shot is once again shot by using many different cameras at many times, to give different angles. The target audience is males and they are targeted by using male gazes throughout and showing close ups of the womans body.

Least Favourite Video
Bruno Mars - The Lazy Song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bek1y2uiQGA


Screenshot 1


This screenshot shows the location that is boring and repetitive as it doesn't change and is also just pale colours and not interesting. Furthermore, there is also only one shot used which is from the front of the room. This can become boring to the audience and can also become repetitive.

Screenshot 2


This screenshot shows the actors wearing monkey masks which I feel are irrelevant and have nothing to do with the song. The target audience for this music video is young teenage girls, and so it does not appeal to me.

Screenshot 3


This screenshot shows how boring the video is and the song is very annoying. This is due to the lack of variety in terms of scenery, props and also colour. The only addition of props is a guitar and the confetti at the very end.
