Analyse 3 music videosEinas Mohamed

Blue Jeans – Lana Del Rey

• Blue jeans has inspired us as we love the way LDR engages the audience with her flair and acting. It is a very simple video but one of the best I’ve seen, I find it quite artistic in its simplicity and love it.

Editing• She uses black and white, noir colours throughout the video which

goes well with the setting.• The video in the beginning has a part where she ripples with the

water behind her which is effective as it looks like she is fading away.

Camera work

• Camera work used in the video is that there are many wide shots and close ups, this is because the director may have wanted to show the scenery more and then show the emotion given by the performer.• There are a few mid shots whilst she is laying down, this is to signify

her laying down and her expressions.

Mise En Scene

• In LDR’s video, her set is made to look like a backyard where she and her love interest are in the pool, we see the house in the background in some shots.• She is wearing a swimming costume that is stylised like the 50s.• The lighting was quite light in some scenes despite it being black and

white which worked well with the video.

Primadonna – Marina and the Diamonds• We chose this video as we liked the costumes she used and the

editing. We had to take inspiration from MATD as she is the singer of our song choice, I particularly loved her pyjama costume and the rollers in her hair so we decided to take that idea and incorporate it into our own video.

Editing

• In some scenes the scene is made to look like a static television screen, in the beginning we see her name presented and the title song which looks like film titles.

Camera work• There are different shot types in the video which I like as it makes the

video seem very fun and energetic. • The main shot types are close ups, mid shots and wide shots, this is to

show more of the set, her costume and facial look.• There is also an extreme close up to show the synergy in her

products, (heart on cheek).

Mise en scene• MATD has a very eccentric mise en scene as the set has many props

and is bright coloured too to add to the fun of the video, the props are mainly house props to possibly show she is being a house wife in the video. • She mainly wears dresses in the video which suits the style of the

video and constantly has the heart on her cheek showing synergy.• The lighting is dark but has a spotlight on her which works well.

Ellie Goulding anything could happen• We chose this video as we liked the outfit choice of the video, I like

the set/location of the video and also the lighting. It suits the video and the song rather than it being dark.

Editing

• In the video there isn’t much significant editing but rather just shots put together.

Camera work

• There are various shots in the video, mainly close ups and long shots, this is to show the performers outfit, when she is floating in the sky, moments between her love interest and when she is having a nose bleed.

Mise en scene• The set location is a beach with metallic balls floating and rocky

boulders around, this goes with the video as its quite indie and matches the song.• She wears a long pink dress in the video which would work well with

her fan demographic.• The lighting in the video makes the video look quite light and upbeat

to go with the music.
