Genre music video part two



I decdied that i would analys this music by muting the sound, so that i reflect on the image rather than the sound too. The music video is nicely lit, the colour red is on walls either side of the stage that the band New found glory are on. There is a banner behind the band that headlines the name of their band, in black and white, this could relate to the idea of racism, or to opssites clashing together. The font of the banner is bold and rocking. One of the band members has no top on, and has a a guitar strapped around him. The main band member is jumping up and down getting the fans surrounding him, excited. The shots then zoom into each of the character, this is not in the way of any average music video, but in a rock and roll way, it is not a tidy shot, more hand heald than anything. The lights are flashing behind the band, this music video is revolved around unitdines and the idea of being out of control. This music starts to be really random when a floating dolphin gets frown on to the stage. The main singer rocks it out, as if he is shouting into the microphone rather than singing his heart out.

A pizza delivery guy then walks on casually to the stage as if the band are not performing. And gives the topless, and rather fat man a large pizza, and band member then opens his delivery box and starts eating away. The main singer then sings into the camera and swings the camera to the side where the producers, directors and camera men are. The next few shots include of a point of view of being in the audience.

Then a shot of three girls. The girls wear a crop top each top says a different word which spells out 'typical  video girl' this is a stereotype of the three girls standing there, they have brown/orange bellies and hair down, they look into the camera in a seductive way, as if to stereotype theirselves even more. The singer then puts his thumbs up with excitement. And the shot then goes back to the girls and a floating caterpilla being frown at them.

Back to the guys on stage. One shouts into the microphone, one gets pushed into the croud, as if to form a mash pit. Then after that madness happens the shot then goes to a shot of three men, not attractive wearing crop tops that are very tight that say 'look at us' mirroring the girls that were on the stage. Then the floating  dolphin gets frown at them again. The use of the floats make me think of summer.

After a few shots of the band being completly outragious, the shot then goes to a band member playing tiny drums, and the topless rather large man singing. Then him standing infornt of a bunch of fat man. Implying it is cool to be large. The scene then changes to the fat men messing around, pretty grose. For the next few scenes it then shows the band messing around to the extreme, and causing mosh pits. And screaming. New fuond glory then welcomes a action super hero onto the stage, he stands on the balcony behind the stage, and swings towards the croud, and smashes into the camera, and falls. The next part of the music video then goes from this to the main singer giving the mike to a fan in the croud, who is the same man, which is a really good effect, i have to sy i love this bit the best.

The musis video i am seeing before me is about fun and randomness, it doesnt include a story just contains themes. Its all about a band living their dream. The other special effect that i enjoyed was of the band member being edited to speed up and the other band members still in the same motion, making him look like he is zooming. The following shots continue frew, and then the camera goes on to the balcony behind the stage where a quier are singing, this quier are not just any quier but are a punk goffic one. Then goes back to the band where the man is singing, the camera reveals that whilst he is singing he is having a tattoo done. 

After another wild party on the stage, the guys then have a shot with really adorable puppies. The shot then continues of the guys and the fans together. The camera shots making the music video as wild as the song, but i wouldnt know because of the msuic video being on silent whilst i edit it. towards the end, on the stage are three life size posters of the band members, and the fans jumping on stage and destroying the posters. The last clip is of the band watching the music through a camera at the end.
