Genre Music Video Analysis

Genre of the Music Videos

The genre of the music video is Indie Rock because every member of the group are using some form of instrument and as both songs are fast paced the movement of people in the videos are fast pace (the construction of the town in Ruby and fast pace of how the masked kids are moving in Never Miss a Beat).

Setting and Décor in Videos

For the video Ruby it’s song about building up a relationship and realsing whether it’ll work or not and the construction of the town helps to represent that. With kids being reckless in Never Miss a beat shows that the meaning is for youth of today not getting a good enough education and the raised awareness of it.

It fits within the genre because some Indie Rock videos try to convey some form of a message.

Costumes in Music Videos

For both music video’s they are wearing everyday normal average because this helps represent they are normal everyday people who have had different and they want to bring there experiences in the simplest way possible. (For Ruby it’s a way of expressing how they feel about who they love and for Never Miss a Beat it’s a way of expressing what kids can be like in bad neighbourhood).

Props

The props used in both the music videos are instruments which helps indicate to the audience that they don’t just sing in there music videos they also play instruments to show how talented a musician they are and they fit the genre because most indie rock bands are seen playing instruments

Body Language and Movement

In Ruby the facial is expression is showing slight sadness because of the confusion whether the girl he’s with is right for him going to his knees shows weakness to see whether she’s fooling around with him. In Never Miss a Beat the guys show aggressiveness to what kids are when they’re out on the street doing no good. Different audiences would think I understand what they’re trying to say and point the there getting across has some form of meaning.

Performance

It’s Important to feature the artists in this type of music video because there trying to show the song from there point. What this adds to the performance in both music videos is that it shows who has the ability to sing, what else the musicians do whilst singing i.e. dancing, playing instruments

Narrative

For Ruby the narrative could be told in the most in direct way possible as the construction the city is like building up a relationship and the darkness pauses construction see whether it’s working out or not with the guys taking part in the narrative. With Never Miss a Beat there isn’t a narrative because it just shows what kids are like whilst there out on the street and there’s a message within there somewhere by showing what kids are like on the street and the mischief they get up to

Reflection

I’ve learnt that I can make a story from the song I choose to do my music video from and I can do this in the indirect way possible and that everything has to be natural in the location I film at.
