Music Video Analysis - Music Video's I Like

Music video's appeal to different people in different ways, for some people it may have a meaning and for some it may just be a means of entertainment or pleasure. 

Here are some of the videos i like: 


Angel ft Wretch 32 - Go in, Go hard
I really like this music video because it looks like a lot of work has been put into it. For example, one thing that is very obvious to us when we watch this video is that there are a lot of different places this video has been shot, which makes it looks really interesting as one minute we're in a dark the suddenly we're outside. Also in each different setting we can see that the music artist (Angel) is dressed in many different outfits and not the same one. There are also some good effects found in the video for example the use of a shaky camera and also the blur that is used in some cases when the setting has change. Another good effect is the good use of transitions. This video is FULL of different transitions, the settings are forever changing. Another good thing i like about this music video is the different camera shots, there are a mixture of close ups and long shots.


Eminem - Without Me
This video is one of my favourite music videos, maybe because its quite funny and creative. This music video is pretty unique for a rap music video, as most rappers' music videos consists of flashy cars, girls and money but this video is definetly different. In this video, Eminem does a lot of acting which probably takes away all the seriousness from a rap music video. We see different clips where he is dressed as Elvis, robin, a woman and a terrorist. The video also consists of a lot of different settings at least 5, which makes if interesting unlike some videos where the video is either shot in just one setting or in just 2. Eminem is also dressed in many different outfits in this video. This video also features on of his close friends (Dr Dre.) who also is acting in the video.



Scorcher - It's My Time
I like this video because if feel it has a meaning which is expressed both through the visuals and through the lyrical content. The lyrics of the chorus are "Its my time and nothing wont get in my way...", during the video we see clips of three different people struggling and fighting there way to the top or to success. This could be related to the artist (scorcher) as he was not to know, but little by little his music and name is being heard.   I like that there is a great use of lighting and colour. I love the settings, especially when scorcher is on the top of the building. There are good transitions, but compared to other music videos i have seen, there are not so many effects.


Coldplay - Charlie Brown
I love both the video and the song. This video is just full of so much action and colour, something that can really get a person going. The music adds a lot to the music video, for example the chorus when there is a bit of a guitar solo. The music is full of quick transition and effects. Although the video is not set in many places it, is made up by the use of vibrant colours and lighting. The video really stands out from others.
