Evaluation Question 1 - notes


Screenshot 1- The intro banner introduces the band, the name of the song and the channel this type of music video can be found on.

Screenshot 2 - Intro of each band member so the audience can see for themselves that its the band in the video and not some other actors.

Screenshot 3 - The use of black and white/bad film creates an old story effect over the shot. This is used in a lot of videos to create the illusion of a story being told without words.

Screenshot 4 - Cross dissolve is used in a lot of videos, it adds effect to the fade in the beat and adds emphasis to the change in tempo and beginning of the next shot.

Screenshot 5 - Close up shots are used in nearly every music video. Close up shots of the singer lip syncing  are used in every performance based video and it relates to the viewers.

Screenshot 6 - Guitar solo broken down into two different shots adds definition to the solo especially as it changes from narrative to performance. Guitar solo = his struggle against femme fatal.

Screenshot 7 - Overlay of other shots is used in lots of modern day music videos. Pixie Lott recently used it in the beginning of her video 'All About Tonight'.

Screenshot 8 - A master shot of the whole band shows them in their zombie selves and reveals the enigma from narrative.

Screenshot 9 - The banner reappears as the video ends, letting the viewers know the video is over and lets people who missed the intro know who the band are, and their song to search the video and band online.
