Music Video Analysis - Paloma Faith

The next Music Video I have chosen to analyse is Sigma ft. Paloma Faith - Changing. The genre of this track is dance and pop but then all of Sigmas music is Drum N Bass so I would say that this track is a mixture of the three. This music video again is the complete opposite to the other two video's that I have analysed. The color pallette is bright and eye-catching which grabs the audiences attention and makes them want to carry on watching, the outfits and backgrounds that have been chosen completely clash because in one bit of the music video Paloma Faith is wearing a multicolored top and dress which have flower like patterns on it then the wall in the background is like graffiti so they clash but it doesn't look bad at all it is eye catching and different which makes it more interesting. A mixture of different camera angles have also been used and there is loads of different cuts to different shots.

Music Video Anaylisis - Bastille Pompeii

My second video I have chosen to analyse is Bastilles music video - Pompeii
which genre is indie rock, this genre of music is a lot different to the other music video I chose by Kiesza. Pompeii was released in 2013. 

The setting of the music video is based in a city, and the colour palette is dark. The clothes the man in the video is wearing are dark and so is the sky and all the buildings, which gives the audience a feeling that the song isnt going to be very cheerful and happy its going to be a bit more sad and meaningful. The first line that the singers says is " I was left to my own devices" and in the video he is walking around on his own and gives the audience a feel that he is lonely and has nobody.

There is a variety of different camera shots. It starts with a medium to long over the shoulder shot, where the focus is on the back of the man and the city is all blurred out.
This music video has a lot of different cuts with a variety of different shots, I counted at least 86 or more cuts throughout the whole video.

Music Video Anaylsis - Kiesza

KIESZA - HIDEAWAY ANAYLSIS

The music video that I have chosen to analyze is Kiesza - Hideaway which is the genre deep house. The first thing we notice when we watch the video is the setting is that it looks like its set in america because of a few different things, First of all she gets out of a stereotypical american yellow cab thats number plate is american, and also they are driving on the opposite side of the road.

This video is a lot different to most music videos because there isn't any cutting at all, its just one long music video. Kiesza is following the camera as if she singing and dancing to the viewer. The camera is always moving and pointing wherever she is. Also the camera is always looking down on her. You can notice that she is lip syncing because she is dancing around and moving so much, she wouldnt possibly be able to sing properly.

The camera angles are mainly medium - long shots and the camera is on a central track so wherever she moves you can still see her full body and where she is moving to. The music video isn't actually linked to the video, it sounds like she is singing about a past relationship, but the video is just her dancing down the street.
