Revision - Music Video

Monday 25th March
LO: Explain how mise en scene has been used in your two music videos to show the genre and represent the band/artist

Uptown Funk
  • Bright and funky clothing to show they don't really take themselves seriously. 
  • Urban location with barber shops, they just want to go around town and have fun
  • This could represent the artist as a macho male, who goes around showing off and is very confident
If I were a boy
  • Familiar clothing like police uniforms and casual clothing to show these are real life problems and to make them easier to understand
  • Familiar locations like a high street and a kitchen to make it easily relatable and to show these are real life problems 
  • This represents the artist as quite weak due to the problems she faces in every day 
Thursday 28th March
LO: Explain how camerawork and editing has been used in your two music videos to show the genre and represent the band/artist

Camerawork

Uptown Funk:
  • Canted angles, track camera angles and low angles. Filmed on a steady cam
  • The range of angles represent the artist as people who just want to have fun, mess around and try out different funky angles
If I were a boy:
  • Naturalistic angles
  • Represents the artist as serious, she wants the problem to be taken seriously and 
Editing

Uptown Funk:
  • Saturated colours and cuts to the beats of the song
  • Represents the artist as trendy, upbeat and shows they are enjoying themselves
If I were boy:
  • Monochrome colour and simple transitions
