    I have decided to analyse a music video by The Editors -'smokers outside the ho spital doors' I think that although there is a storyline which runs throughout the video, the story perception can different to each person who views it. This is similar to what I want our music video to be, because a great piece of art doesn't simply have one meaning, it can convey many meanings to many people.

    I have decided to analyse a music video by The Editors - 'Smokers outside the ho

    spital doors'.
    I have decided to analyse this music video for many reasons, one of those reason
    s is that I think that, although there is a storyline which runs throughout the
    video, the story perception can different to each person who views it.
    This is similar to what I want to have in our music video, because I think that
    a great piece of art doesn't simply have one meaning, it can convey many meaning
    s to many people.
    Every time I watch this video, I notice something different, or depending on wha
    t mood I am in, I feel something different. This is something I want our music v
    ideo to be. It's important to create a video that will can be repeated many time
    s, like a novel, or a piece of music, without the audience getting tired of it.
    I like how the video starts with birds singing, without the music, and the door
    opens with a girl coming out, what looks likes like a derelict building, which i
    s of course the hospital. The colours of the video are faded to give a hint of g
    rey, which I feel has been used many times before in similar bands. I like the u
    se of faded colours, because it's been used so much before by other indie videos
    , such as 'The Kooks - always where I need to be' and 'Mumford & Sons - Winter W
    inds', I think it now relates to that genre of music.
    In my opinion, the narrative starts to become clear when the young girl has esca
    ped from the building, and the freedom is realised when the music starts playing
    . The video is performance and narrative based, which I'd like to consider for o
    ur music video. However, I prefer that actors be kept a minimum, including band
    members. I say this because I am a fan of simplicity.
    I am a huge fan of the camera work in this video, the smooth pans, and sharp foc
    us really makes the video look visually pleasing. I like in some clips the backg
    round is out of focus. This is something i'd like to include in our music video,
    because I think that it looks professional, and finishes off a shot. The main p
    oint of the narrative is that the young girl is running away. I really like how
    throughout the whole video she is running with the music. This carries on the pa
    ce of the song, and although it is just running, it's entertaining. The constant
    change of location also contributes to the entertainment and pace. The use of m
    otion blur in editing adds to the pace and makes the shots piece together faster
    , yet retaining the smoothness.
    I like the fact that the young girl runs across the water, which in my opinion c
    ould be controversial towards religions, as it holds religious connotations. I t
    hink because it's controversial, It makes it interesting. For example Madonna's
    'Like a prayer' was very controversial with religion, which I find really intere
    sting.
