beatuiful south - song for who ever

I love this video is taking the micky out of love songs, the mise-en-scene used for the costume, there all dressed in suits like a boy band like westlife. These is a lot of close up shots of the main singer and it’s all done really seriously until they bring a pink blmonce into the video to be there big star. Which they all get jealous of until the end where they eat him.

nickelback- photograph

this video is full of fast cuts, there is alot of close ups on the band and also different objects like the mail box. there is some really nice shots though the window with the view though the window blurry. there is also a nice angle where the camera in behind some chairs but is shotting the band. there is also alot of free hand camera work which works really well in this video. in the narrative there is a really nice close up of them holding hands in the filed.

james blunt- goodbye my lover
in the performance the light is really dark, in the narrative the light is really bright. the dark light makes it feel gloomy and sad the bright light feels alot happyer. there is a mixture of mediem shots of the couple and close up of body parts like hands and them kissing. there is some mediem shots of empty car parks which looks really lonely and the lighting is also really dark and gloomy.

Talior Swift's videos

we looked at Talior swifts as she has some clever videos which have some good ideas and clever mise- en- sence with in them as well as good camera angles.

you belong to me - the establishing shot of the two houses really sets the sense fir this music video. i really like the frame of the shot throw the two windows is a really nice shot. while the song is going on the to people in the video are writing to each other on big pieces of paper which is a really nice touch. i like the use of mise-en-sence when she is singing in her bed room into a hair brush instead of a microphone. mise-en-sence is also  used in costume as taylor swift plays the geek and well as the cheerleader. she wears a brown wig and cheerleader outfit to plat the cheerleader, and glasses and normal clothes as well as band outfit to play the geek. there is one shot of them both but mostly they aren't in the same shot its cuts between them. which makes it possible for us to use this in our music video.

love story- quite cuts between present and past. good mise-en-sence with the use of costume which looks orthentic. a really sift light is used in the performance part of the video. there is a couple of nice close ups on the face and a blurry back ground. i really like the angle of the dancers from above like a birds eye view shot. there is a really nice close up of them holding hands in really long grass. also a nice twist at the end when they go back to present day.

Teardrops in my guitar- this video starts with talking (with out the music playing). nice mise-en-scene with her costume in the performance as she is wearing a really long princess dress and really heavy make-up.

i dont really like this video there is a mix of performance, where she is laying on a bed singing and narrative with her and the boy dhr likes but the video is boring to watch as there isnt any interesting angles or editing and the narrative doesnt really have a story line.

Fifteen- As she starts singing a dream like life builds up around her like the words shes singing are coming to life.  i really like the graphics used to create this video, as it looks life like but you can tell its graphicly done.There are alot of close up shots of Talior in this video. the story has a really good moral to it as shes telling girls there is more to life than you think and not to give them selfs away to any old guy. at the end she is back in real life which is a nice end to the video.

p!nk's videos

These are the songs/ videos from pink i have watched, i really love her songs and videos they have good messages to them and clever videos, i would love to come up with a video like hers.
Pink - i have watched alot of pinks videos as she has a good narrative in her videos.
in my opinion her best video is

studip girl  -it has a good moral story line about girls wanting to be pretty and be skinny with big boobs and wear alot of make-up to be better than other girls but they end up looking stupid. There is a lot of humor in this video like when pink goes in the tanning booth with gogles over her eyes and when she comes out shes orange with white eyes.

so what -there is alot of quick cuts between narrowtive and her singing. she uses alot of different costumes in the narrowtive when ever she is in a different place to show time moving. There is mostly mediam shots in this video. There is also humor in this video when she sets her own hair on fire at the hair dressers.

perfect- this is such a sad song with a sad video to go with it. the narrowtive fades into the different clips and to pink singing this is a really nice eiffect and shows time passing. though it is horribel when she cuts her arms there is a nice close up shot of blood dripping into the water which has a real impact on the viewer and you see what she has done to her self. this is also a good close up of her hair landing on the floor when she is cutting it off.

who knew -  The establishing shot is a close up of a fair ground before the song starts. Those the song there is fast cuts between a couple and pink singing the song.  The camera keeps going in and out of focus. The lighting is really and happy when the camera is on the couple while everything is fine but on pink and on the couple when stuff begins to go wrong the lighting is dark. Lighting helps create the mood in this song.

raise your glass- This song is about being who you are and proud of it. Mise-en-sence is used with pinks costume to show she is different to other people, like at prom all the girls are in red and she is in blue. There is also a shot at a wedding and she’s in black and everyone else is in white but we don’t see the people are getting married until the end of the shot when we see it’s a gay couple which most people wouldn’t expect. There is also a clip of where a baby cow is being fed by breast milk from four women but they are blind folded so don’t know what is happening. There is also editing used to make a face from different parts of different people.
