8/12/2019 First 9 Pane Analysis

1/1

1. A shot that shows a link between lyrics and/or music and visualsThis image, taken from our studio setting, shows Luna singing directly to the camera, and holding up four

fingers. This image shows a link between our lyrics and visuals because the lyric being sung is four

words to say and Luna is indicating four this with her fingers. Links can be seen throughout our music

video, however, the majority of the music video is performance based, where it is more difficult to show

links between the lyrics and visuals.

2. A shot that typifies the way a record company would want their artist to be representedA record company would want to present our Artist Luna as an independent woman with a strong

personality as this links in well with Lunas chosen pop genre. The costume being part of the mise enscene is very colourful, which also links well with her representation. This representation created in our

music video is how a record label would want Luna to be presented, as this is very appealing to the

younger female age groups, which is the main audience for the pop genre.

3. A shot that illustrates how your video uses music genreThis image illustrates how our video uses the music genre pop, as the pop genre is largely based aroundthe theme of relationships and break-ups. Polaroid pictures appear quite often in the genre, showing

pictures of the couple when they were once happy together, or still happy together, as we have done

ourselves.

4. A shot that shows an intertextual referenceThis image in an example of an intertextual reference, as it is an image of our male character Alex

drinking a bottle of Corona beer. As our target audience is a younger generation, who typically go outpartying often, this prop may have more meaning, as the pop genre audiences may notice this more.

5. A shot that demonstrates your use of cameraThis shot demonstrates our use of camera, as it is an over the shoulder shot of the Luna looking through

some Polaroids in her bedroom. This displays our use of camerawork as the camera is placed

strategically to identify that Luna is looking back over pictures of her relationship, when it was once

happy.

6. A shot that demonstrates your use of lightingThis is a good example of our use of lighting, as this image of a flash of red light, which in the music video,

is accompanied by numerous other flashes of different coloured lights, flashes along to a very fast paced

beat, which builds a lot of energy during the video, keeping the audience engaged.

7. A shot that demonstrates your use of mise-en-sceneThis shot demonstrates our use of mise en scene, as there are numerous props out including, beer bottles

and cans, and a roulette drinking game, which link with the idea that Lunas boyfriend goes out partying

and drinking, leaving her behind. The lighting is dark to build atmosphere and make the video look

convincing.

8. A shot which you feel demonstrates something which shows you have watched other music videosThis shot illustrates that we have watched other music videos, as, particularly in the pop genre, girls lay

on their beds looking at Polaroid images of their relationships. We saw this common theme in other

music videos of the same genre and used the same concept in our own video, as we can see Luna lying on

her bed looking through some Polaroid images.

9. A shot which you feel demonstrates something which shows you have watched other music videosThis is another shot, which exemplifies that we have watched other music videos, especially within our

genre. In the pop genre, we noticed that the music videos are very often largely performance based, with

close-up shots of the artist looking directly into the camera. Taking this into consideration, we had a lotof close-up shots in our studio setting with Luna looking directly at the camera, as you can see in the

image.
