motion.• Wide shots of the

room. • Upside down

camera editing.• Special effects.

‘Indie’ : Oasis-Champagne Supernova.

Songs always seem to be slow/calm.

Videos usually match the tempo of the music, slow, if the songs seems dull and depressing the video editing tends to match it.

Camera work: • Close ups.• Jump shots.• Special effects.• Wide shots.• Use of pans.

Camera work indicating the band Oasis doing drugs, quite warped, lots of spins, zooms etc.. Suggests that the band members often felt funny like the camera affects.

Zooms in a lot on the instruments, indicating that they are a band.

Quotes in the songs back this up also, “We were getting high”.

Ends with them all passed out/asleep on the floor, suggests that the songs is very ‘chilled’ and the editing of the video also suggests quite a calm environment.

‘R&B’: Beyoncé - Crazy In Love ft. JAY Z

Video links:• Women never have a lot of

clothes on.• Men are always all over women.• Women do the same sort of

sexual dance moves.• Men always seem empowered,

women do what they say, dance around them.

Camera Work:• Close up shots mostly of

women. • Group shots women hovering

around men.• Group shots with the main

singer in the middle, indicates power.• Wide shots mostly with the

house in the background shows the main singer is rich :Usher-Burn.

Ends with them looking out of breath, as throughout the song they use quite fast, upbeat but sexual dances.

• Fast pace camera shots: indicates the fast dance routines.

• Extreme close ups on faces: shows sweat on their faces.

‘Hip Hop’: Chris Brown-Liquor.

Camera work:• Camera shots looking at it from

their point of view, also another persons point of view looking down on the singers face.

• Special affects that make the room spin and seem very warped.

Special affects give an indication of the use of drugs (being spiked).

Stereotypically it would be men to spike the woman's drink and get them home, however, it makes a change for the woman to be taking advantage of the male (Chris Brown).

Atmosphere/background is very children like, colourful and seems like a play area type. Use of illuminous colours and glow in the dark stuff, looks like a fun house with the mirrors etc.. Doing all different types of special effects, again linking back to drugs/being spiked.

Girls being not covered up that much and wearing quite sexual clothing or little clothing, links back with R&B music videos.

Mise-en-scene.• Lights-colourful.• Costumes for females:

sexual, not much clothing.

• Costumes for men: plenty of clothes, very covered up, however in one section shows off his body.

females make up.• Hand held camera work in

‘Cool for the summer- Demo Lovato’ :getting the audience to believe she’s recording it herself.

Always seems to be a romantic story with male and female. However, also a disagreement and then they always end happy.

Song links with the video: as the video is Taylor and the man filming it also shows their life out of filming, showing that they still like each other.

Mise-en-scene:• Again, not much clothing

on the females.• Taylor is always nicely

dressed and well presented.

• Lighting-bright but giving off a dusty affect as it is suppose to be filmed in an African desert. –Wildest Dreams.

• Lighting is very bright also, but colourful-Cool for the summer.
