La La La

These are a few videos that we have chosen to analyse.
This is  music video called La La La. We like this type of video as it is a narrative video. It has a story to it. 

 This is the main character that is in the video. As you can see he has put his fingers to his ears, this links to the lyrics that are being sang. This is a motif and is repeated though out the video. 

Though out the video we come across characters that the boy meets. This helps the audience understand the story more. Although the characters don't directly relate to the lyrics. When you watch the video it does make sense. 

There are also elements taken from other genres of music videos. For example this shot looks like it would be from a dance video. All of the conventions are of a typical dance video. I like this because it is braking the stereotype of what the video should look like. 

This is a shot that fits into the song and into what the audience are expecting. The song is about someone trying to get away from all the shouting and moaning and this shot show what they are trying to get away from. It is shortly followed by another shot of the little boy with his fingers in his ears, the motif. The lighting in this shot is also very good. All of her face is light up so that you can see every part of it in such detail. It helps the audience see how much she is shouting at the boy. All of her costume fits into the typical dance music video, so fits in very well. But as this is a pop music video it is contrasted in a good way. 

This is another one of the characters that we see. He is costumed in a more fantasy sort of way than the other characters. His costume is a key part as it clearly shows that all the people that the boy is with are from his imagination and help him block everything out. It also shows you where the music video is set. You can see that it is somewhere hot and i would say in a more poorer county as the building behind don't look as well made. 

They use a rang of camera shots to create effects in this music video. I really like this one because it shows the journey that this boy is going on. It is a contrast from the city he has just come from. The long shot makes it seem like a long journey because i looks like a long way to walk. Again you can see where it is set clearly.
