Analysing other students music videos



I found this music video interesting as it had a narrative genre with a comic strip theme to it. In creating a twist to the genre, it makes the audience engage in it more.
Additionally there was always a variety of camera angles that were controlled and moved smoothly through to follow on from one another. As well as this mise-en-scene was carefully thought out with the actors wearing stereotypical robber outfits and a black mask, commonly seen in comic strips rather than modern day.



This music video is not as good as the one above, however it does contain different camera angles that are well thought out. The costumes are suitable for the style of the song, for example the leather jacket, jeans and converse shoes that the original artists, The Arctic Monkeys, are known for. The video also is a narrative/rock genre, with the editing slow to fit with the pace of the lyrics being sung. However the location was set up badly, with the artist singing in to a micro phone, as you can see that they have filmed this in a house as the sofa is visible, which isn't effective.

For our music video i would like to try and include some of the ideas from the first music video, such as the comic style look. I believe that this engages the audience more than a normal narrative genre and would look interesting in ours.
