Screen shot

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

These two shots are from the music video 'We Have Band' (You came out) which surrounds close ups of peoples faces in make up it is a animated music video, I like the stye because it is creative also I view it as video art, It also relates to my groups music video with the colour changes of costume but in this they change the colour of their make-up wit animation, we used the stop motion effect for our music video setting it in just one frame and having Yasmin move around in different costumes, like this music video from the video how they made it they have one setting and one position with mirrors that reflect peoples faces and edit between their movements and snap shots taken.

This shot from 'Bjork' 'All is Full of Love' is a close -up of a female robot also the intertextual reference to the music video 'We have Band' ('you came out') is similar because they use close ups of people with face paint and mirror reflections.

This shot from Newton Faulkner music Video 'To the Light' relates to the visuals and music genre, the fact that in most of the shots in this music video is seen as Newton playing his guitar that creates this beautiful harmonic music helps to represent his music genre also. So it would be a recognizable association the audience would instantly make.

In this shot from 'Lily Allen' (The fear) music video Lily is walking towards the camera and there is paint spraying in different colours as soon as she walks pass. It looks really interesting and reminds me of video art, I think that this shot would be away of a record company representing Lily because she is upbeat singer who has magical colours released behind her as she walks with a building behind which projects to me as a 'palace' (so this princess symbol)

In Sigur Ros music video Svefn-g-englar they use a location with people dancing in a field passionately, also there are a few close up shots like this of actors alone dancing in front of the camera projecting their angelic features the lighting really sets the feel and effect to this planned shot.

The music video 'Bat for Lashes' (Daniel) uses mise en scene in this shot the location is simple and contains a lot of props that are displayed to set character to the music video. her costume stands out in the music video as she wears red and everyone else wear's black costumes to convey shadows around her.

Representation of music/lyrics/music genre.

This shot of a brick wall is taken from Pink Floyd music video 'Another Brick In The Wall' the song titles represents the visuals and the lyrics, and the music genre because it is set in old fashioned way and uses old fashioned locations and train tunnels.

1. The Use of camera work in the sigur ros - Svefn-g-englar music video is very detailed and creates the illusion that the watching audience are apart of the performance. The camera uses slow motion and gently pans around the dancers in the field. It sets atmosphere and helps add to the music genre.
