A2 media studies music video evaluation



Through conducting my research i have watched a variety of A2 media studies music videos, following the same criteria. This has allowed me to focus on what has or has not worked out allowing me to improve and evaluate my final piece effectively. This will allow me to experiment different ways to present my message within the music video.

The music within this video is classified as "house". I have looked at house music video and understood the concept of a message. House music has a disconnected sound to it allowing people to let loose and reveal their emotions and personalities. In the video the character has different emotions shown. They have a great range of camera angles allowing it to sink with the music at the correct times. The use of reflections are throughout focusing on the emotions and feeling of the message. The panning or the hand held camera allows the audience to establish the lost environment the character is in and explore the journey with him. The underwater scene really captures the realism of how he wants to escape reality and get away. I found it enjoyable and interesting with the personal view of the protagonist and understood the message really clear as the music has no words to describe the feelings. Towards the end we discover its a flash back to the life he once lived. This was a great scene to show as we understood the type of person he is and what he enjoys doing. It allows the audience to relate to this feeling as we all have a dream or feeling to relive something we have once loved. This video relates to Brecht theory. It makes the audience aware what they are watching was not all reality but theatrical (a dream). it breaks the "Fourth Wall" and keeps the audience as observers to understand the message.
