My favourite music video

My Favourite

One of my favourite music videos would probably be one of Ed Sheerans.
The one I like the most is most probably Lego House which was brought out in 2011. This is because I like music videos that show a story in the video and this is exactly what happens in this music video. The narrative of the video shown tells the story of the song and words being song.


I believe the song that Ed sings here is about the struggle to fix a relationship that is breaking  away slowly and he is wanting to "mend" the partner to stop them from getting hurt in this situation. You can read this from the lyrics he sings for example -

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love 
I'll pick you up when you're getting down 
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

As he is saying that when she is down he will pick her up and in this sense try and make her feel better. It also says that now after everything that has happened he now loves her even more.

I like this music video and would class it as one of my favourites because it has a story to it and I believe although every song has a meaning behind it, if it has an actual visual story to be played with the lyrics then it has a lot more meaning to it. You enjoy it far more if it has lyrics you can relate to or remember the video to it.

It is also one of my favourites because the shot transitions are done nicely and it is continuous, the setting says roughly the same. It is a  pretty simple music video yet very effective in my eyes. I think the shots are slightly longer in this than a performance music video as it is to show a story and also it is dull meaningful sad song not an upbeat happy type. Therefore I like the shot types and length the shots are.

Textual Analysis - Sia Chandelier

                                                                        Sia Chandelier This music video is mainly well known for its  choreography as this is a memorable factor, there is no lip syncing - it is just literally Maddie dancing to the meaning of the song. Performance –  Sia doesn't like to star in her own videos, she has Maddie Ziegler a young girl who dancers throughout for her as a dancer. The performance is of Maddie dancing all around an abandoned, neglected location which is dirty and unpleasant. Lyrics -   The words "swinging from a chandelier" is usually know as a metaphor for partying to excess. As she states in the lyrics "party girls don't get hurt" so if she keeps drinking she won't feel the pain that addictions can eventually give.  She si...

Equipment/Lighting decisions in our music video

Lighting is very important in music videos, as it allows it to be easier to see and also as it sets certain moods and atmospheres. An example of this would be, if we used low amount of lighting then it'll be setting a dull and sad atmosphere which would help highlight the meaning behind the song is not a positive atmosphere. Also the other way round as well, as if a large amount of colour is used then it'll set a more upbeat atmosphere and show that they're more likely to be given a positive media video to see.  Jessie J clip Here is a clip of Jessie J where she has dull lighting which represents the atmosphere as dull and an unhappy situation. The song is of a sad subject, it is negative song lyrics, this is helped by the lighting as its all dull however she is shown with a little more light over her so that she is highlighted as the main  This music video gives an impression of a dull meaning behind it just by the setting...
