Music Videos

Performance

This song is Rock My World from Michael Jackson's album Thriller. The performance in the video is very laid-back and the dancing itself matches every beat in the song. I really like this music video as when I was younger I tried to copy the performance when growing up and I would love to a create an video similar to this as it is really up-lifting and fun. The performance was very different and not many artists stick to the dancing usually now its not focused on dancing. 

Another favourite music video of mine is she knows by jcole. I really like narrative to the music video. It is about the life of two young boys and what they do. The editing is very precise. There are not many long takes and it makes the video flow more and its full impact everywhere. This also gives the music video an edge which in all honesty many music videos do not have. 

Another favourite music video of mine is where is the love by black eyed peas. The camera language is full of close-ups and long shots. I really like the camera language as the close-ups show the emotions of the characters in the music video and creates an effect. This video used to make me cry when i was younger. The camera movement such as tilts shows the different scenarios in the music video. This one of the best music videos ever created. 

Another favourite music video of mine is Happy people by R-Kelly. I really like the mise-en-scene within this video. The colour scheme is the background is rich colours such as gold and cream. There is artificial lighting in the video. The people in the music video are all dressed in smart wear and it goes with the song as its laid-back and talks about going out and dressing up and they all are dressed up nicely.  There is also a dancer who isn't full clothed but suits the music video as it is chilled. 

My last favourite music video is Kanye west imma touch the sky. I absolutely love this music video. The camera language is full of a different range of shots and angles. Low angle has been sued on Kanye when he is walking across the dessert and 0:45 this portrays him to being superior and better than everyone else. The closeups shown of peoples faces when they see him is also very different and again shows how everyone wants to be like him but also shows that is confident in who he is.

The mise-en-scene I like a lot as well. It is full of bright colours its not dull and looks realistic. Also the costume he is wearing is very fancy and something a big star would wear which again conveys who kanye is. He is a confident being himself.

The editing is very abrupt and quick. There are no long takes and it moves quickly which I like as i can get easily bored.
