Technical Analysis 2

 

Maroon 5 moves like jagger 

Although the genre of the song is different from the song we have chosen, I have decided to analysis this song because the concept is simple and also it quite an upbeat song like ours, so in a way both genres share some similar characteristics.

Cinematography 

The music video has 6 basic shots which are continually repeated through out the song, they use a long shot, medium shot, and extreme close up, low angle, close up over the shoulder shots. in the music video the camera is usually always in the same place cause the music video is made up of a lot of medium shots.

Mise en scene

The mise en scene for this video is quite 1980s, its very simple, they have a background of different flags which is where all the dancing takes place, it set in a studio like setting. The costumes chosen also match the concept of the video. Also the whole video has this old film look to it which compliments the mise en scene very well.

Editing 

The editing of this music video cuts to the beat of the song, the pace goes with the song very well.

The concept of the whole video is simple, its just a very fun concept, for our music video we want to have a similar concept with the influence of other music videos such as geek in the pink by jason mraz. Both videos have different people dancing in front of the camera or doing something random in front of the camera basically they are just going with the flow of the music. Our concept is just not wholly based on moves like jagger but other videos and our own ideas.
