hellogoodbye - here in your arms.
camera work in this video has a large variety of different shots and angles , and few examples are these.
this is a close up shot , these shots are great for detail and good for helping the audience to understand the narrative
these close up shots shows who the character loves as shown in the picture he is holding in his hands, the close up of the camp holadios sign explains to the audience the setting of the video and the summer of 91, suggests a time it refers back, because the song and group are a modern, and up too date genre.
other shots used in the music video are a large amount of mid-shots , which i think does alot of connecting the narrative together. for example here are two mid shots that play important roles in connecting the narrative together.
both these shots show how the character is practicing his dancing before the typical end of camp disco which is very common with this type of narrative, and the other shot shows the character asking the girl (in the picture previously) to dance. obviously there are more shots that used in the video , however i think that these two shots are the most frequently used throughout the video.
the mis-en-scene for this video is all things before the camera , all the sets, props, costumes and lighting. for this video the lighting is corresponding to the time of day , night - dark , day - light , the only artificial lighting used is in the disco scene , with all the disco equipment used and the lasers , very typical to what i shall use in my music video with casio-kid. the set is clearly an American summer camp , all things connect with this, the American settings with log cabins and a lake shown in a few shots which again is very common for an American camp setting.
the costume used in the video is very like the genre of music, some of the characters are told apart from the typical tire for an american camp uniform, shorts , high top shoes liek converse, high socks and a coloured tee-shirt.
Narrative and performance. the narrative for this video is fairly simple. set in a typical american summer camp , the main character stereotyped as being (nerd). falls in love with this girl who he belives he has no chance with, through the summer camp with the help of others he goes to the end of summer dance and dancing with the girl and gets his kiss. followed by a short performance at the very end of the video. the performance asspect is what i want to achieve in my video aswell.
genre. the genre type is an up and coming type of music branded as nu-rave, its a mixture between a dance/club track genre and a pop band genre. over the last few years this type of music has had a huge increase in followers and has developed its own style on the fans, the nerd glasses, high top shoes, bright coloured clothing. is just touching the surface of a new craze soon to take off massively.
