Music Video Analysis 3



We chose this music video because it goes vey well with our genre because it has the movie characters that are in Shrek in it.

The editing is on the beat. The music is quite upbeat and happy which matches the mise en scene. It has a clear narrative, which has images that match the lyrics. For example when the chorus starts with 'then I saw her face', three times someone turns their head. The scene, when the lead singer is singing down into the camera, is repeated quite a few times throughout the video.

Using Andrew Goodwin's theory.

There are quite a few shots of the band but there are more sshots of the action, which shows that there is quite a bit of relationship between the lyrics and visuals.
The singer keeps going after this woman to give something back to her. This illustates the choruses lyrics.
Each chorus has a new scene but the message it is trying to put across is the same.
This music video has a narrative with the lead singer telling the story through the lyrics.
