Analysis of a Music Video - Genre

I analysed a music video that fitted into the genre conventions due to gathering a greater understanding. The reasoning for this, is to base our own music video with all the different conventions for this genre. 

I chose the artist Katie Tunstall - "Other Side Of The World." I felt that this song had more similarities with our chosen song, therefore allowing a wider range of analysis. 




Sound:


This song has a slow beat with strong sounds of instruments. In comparison to the artist that we chose the song to create a video to, for coursework, it also has a slow beat with heavy instruments creating the beat. Katie Tunstall fits into the genre of indie, due to the lyrics and beats of the music, however, not being what  most people associate indie music with, I feel that both songs fit well together. 


Editing:


In this music video, it heavily relies on editing showing the 'two sides' of the story. The male and female sides. This gives the viewer a different aspect of a music video. Comparing this music video with Audrianna Cole's, the editing has a wider techniques that is needed. 'Misplaced' is a narrative story line, therefore need more 'behind the scenes' editing, with the changing of scenes and shots. Where as "Other Side Of The World" can be seen visually throughout the video. 


Mise en Scene:


During this video, the mise en scene is used in 'every day life' where as in Audrianna Cole's video the props that are used are very fairy-tale, following the narrative. The clothing again, during 'Misplaced' is very magical, following the story line, where as the video above is just casual clothing.
