Nickelback-save me, sour, she aint you the three types of music videos

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JQiEs32SqQ 
This music video is a narrative based video this is because it attempt to tell a story through moving images and will fit very well with the song they also include a bit of performance to make it look as it real is a music video and not just a short film. this is type of music video it will be like a short will and will use a lot of different camera shots and angles. The point of these videos are to portray a message that life's to short and people die anytime and we need to save them. the camera shots used for this video are pan, close up, long shot, mid-shot, extreme long shot ect.
this video is about a man seeing the time of how long a person will live after he was saved by a random person. he be's confused for a few moments and then realises that he can help save someones life after seeing an old woman die in the Abilene he pays more attention. then after he saves a woman life by moving her away from her car before something fell on top of her. at the end she has the power to see how long someone is gonna live and will need to try to help someone.

sour
this is a concept music video which means that it is style of music video that is based around a single concept or idea. These types of videos are not very common any more because of the economies changing demands. this video based around what people do in front of a webcam and do there own type of dance or random things. concept videos will use a lot of different types of editing techniques to make the film look well put together. 
this video is about people communicating through webcam and make them seem like as there so close to each other. this is a well edited film and is very enjoyable to watch.


she aint you 
this is a performance video which means that the song is based around a dance mostly this will sometimes have a narrative as well but mostly performance. this is a good video with a good dance performance which makes it entertaining and fun to watch.

Weapon Of Choice- Fatboy Slim


The meaning of the Fatboy Slim is that to him his voice is his new weapon and he’s telling people not to be afraid of what he is doing. However its doesn’t have a storyline.

The video was not a dancing video it was more type of a scene forma film it was a filmic video. It was well made and had a lot of entertainment as some parts were not real. The video is very enjoyable to watch and makes you feel like you would also get up and start jumping around it give a lot of motivation to dance. It also makes you feel very energetic. The video clip hasn’t got a lot of emotions it just makes you feel happy and the actual song think about what his choice real is and what he thinks of it.

The connection between the video and the song is not very strong because I don’t think that the video is suitable for the song when he’s talking about a weapon of his choice this video should be a with a general song. The video for this song should be located in a place weapons are used but also in a place where decisions have to be made.

There were a range of shots used in this video such as long shot, close up, pan tilt ect. and they were used in such a cleaver way. For example: when the character was flying around the place it used different shots to show where he is moving from. A lot of low and high shots were also used when he was flying across the room to show that he is high near the roof. The camera

This video was located in a lobby in a luxury hotel this is indicated by the marble flooring and the trees around the place.

The clothes worn by the main character is a brown suit with a white shirt, red tie and black shoes which gives and impression that he is not a worker but a businessman. The make up done on the character shows that is just woke up and is it sleepy.

The lighting of the video was not very bright and it indicated that it was night with the low key lighting. However in the lobby they do have a lot of lights on but it don’t show it as bright as it should be in a lobby.

The characters movements where as if he suddenly was in the mood of dancing and the video was very well put together and made a good flow which also made it better to watch.

We found love anaylise how it has been edited

Rihanna
This video is edited in a discontinuous order which means that it isn't placed with a beginning, middle and end. its all over the place, this is good so it keeps attention of their audience because in today society it is hard for people to keep concentration. the way the music video has been edited is that know shots are longer then 2 seconds. they have a lot if random shots which means that they use a similar shot which has the same location but in a different part of the music video. 





as shown on the screen shot this same location appears a few seconds latter again with a different scene in between.  this help the audience keep concentration.


continuity will be used in this video because they keep changing. this video is also using random shot for example piles.  these shot screens above are random and shots which the characters are not involved in.
