Analyse 3 of your favourite Music video's in terms of mise-en-scene,cinematography and editing


Throughout all the music video's i will be analysising lights, mise-en-scene, camera angles and positioning of actors.



The first music video I am going to analyse is Muse - Starlight, I like this music video because it starts of with a drum beat and face pace editing and builds u into the song which is intriguing and exciting as you don't know whats going to happen. Also when there singing "this ship is taking me far away" they are singing it on a ship to contrast with the lyrics. The band is wearing black and the outfits are smart and formal as when you go for dinner on a ship you have to dress smart. As the music starts to build up the atmosphere changes into dark and they send smoke into the sky and its colour and intriguing and people want to watch the video to find out whats gonna happen as they tell as story from starts to finish. In the video they use a wide range of shots, such as high angle, when filming above looking down on ship and crane shot when filming the ship and see to show fast pace editing and different angles at which you can see life as. They stand on a boat for all of the video in a triangle formations so we can see the ship and them clearly.


The second Music video I am going to analyse is James Arthur , Impossible I like this music video because it starts of with him in his house thinking that he wont get any where but then it hows I'm singing on the shows which he won which was xfactor and it shows that nothing is ever impossible. It tells as story and to tell others how he has become to be a pop star. This video shows us his journey through the xfactor and shows us that nothing is ever impossible an dreams come true. This video even though is a ad tone of music its very up lifting and helps people to achieve in life. Throughout the video he is shows in clothes that is natural for him. The lights are bright to shows that he has a bright and shinning future as a pop star and the camera angles shows a close up of him and his reactions to winning and becoming famous. At the end its a celebration of his achievements and this is why the lighting is bright and his crying with happiest surrounded my friends but we can still see him.



The last music video I am going to analyse is The wanted, chasing the sun, I like this music video because they all are in leather jacket which are black and look like a boy band and at the start its all black part from the starts and the lights which are shining which looks intriguing and looks like something exciting is going to happen which makes me want to keep watching the video they also use a lot of fast peace and slow peace editing. Also as the music gets faster the song becomes better to listen to an goes into a car scene which contrast the music and makes the video more interesting. Throughout the music video the music levels change and tells a story which makes you want to keep on listening to the video. Then they come out into the sun light and we see new side to story. The camera angles are close ups and long distance shots to show the actors and the girls and the sun signs to show that they are chasing this girls and now they have got them as they have the sun on them.
