Class notes

These are my notes on my peers presentations.

Disclosure feat Eliza Doolittle-You  & Me

• The video is narrative based. It shows a young couple travelling around Europe.
• The boy is called Tim Shieff, and he is a professional free runner. In the video he is shown using his free running skills to impress his girlfriend.
• The video advertises the artists new album. In the background, a Disclosure album promotion poster is shown saying "Coming Soon"
• Locations would have had to have been taken into consideration. The director had to pick locations which best represent the places the couple are visiting.

Jake Bugg-Broken

• This video is both performance and narrative based. It shows the artist performing this song, however it is set in a bar full of individuals who are dealing with their own problems.
• The video coincides with the lyric repetition of "I'm broken". His performance is being ignored by the audience, which represents his feeling of being worthless. Also, close-ups of each individual in the audience suggests that hey are each broken in their own way.

AC/DC-You shook me all night long

• Performance based (like the majority of their videos). The noise from the audience can be heard as well as the performance.
• The video does not link to the lyrics.
• Each piece of footage only lasts a few seconds.
• Symbolism of the band can be found this in video, such as red devil horns worn by the fans, the colour red and the bands logo.

Miley Cyrus-We can't stop

• This video is narrative based, with lip synching included.
• In the beginning she is wearing white clothes, but later changes into black clothes. This may represent her transformation from angelic Miley to rebellious Miley.
• This video portrays her new reputation and shows off her new appearance.
• "We can do what we want to", "I can say what I want to". The lyrics may be Mileys way of establishing a sense of control as an artist, an adult, and her own person.

Kings of Leon-Use somebody

• The video/song is about getting lonely while travelling on tour.
• This video has a lack of colour, with very dull lighting. This could represent their mood while being on tour, and the loneliness.
• The video also reflects their lifestyle, with busy roads, cars and concerts.
• There is a strong use of props and locations which would have had to have been taken into consideration.
