A popular track that has been recently launch this year is “No Gettin’ over you”
It’s comes under the popular / dance music genre. There is both a narrative and performance sections featured in this video. It starts of with the artist performers recording there track in a recording studio with the music producer adjusting the levels on the mixer.
We see him write a tweet on his mobile, which latter on in the video lets people know where he is recording this track. But we do see the twitter start up page and also the Samsung mobile logo on his phone, which was most likely used to promote their services and devices in the video.
The narrative of the music starts when the bass beat of the track kicks in at 40 seconds. The narrative of the video continues alongside the performance of the artists recording their track in the studio.
Camera Shots:
The shots at the start of the video are generally mid shots to show where the location is. As the narrative starts we get different shots, such as close up of the mobile phone, speakers. Then long shots of the people running down the street.
The use of depth of field it used a lot in the studio to keep your on focused on the most important part of that shot. I like the shot from 2:12 to 2:14 where the camera blurs out. It finds into the music as it quiets down for a second.
Editing:
The editing in the video is very fast paced to keep up with the beat of the video. It seems to speed up when the beat of the track is playing, unlike the start of the video that has longer shots. I cant see any effects on the video, it is a very simple cut into the next shot. Very simple but effective
Sound:
Being a typical music video there isn’t many parts of the video that has diegetic sounds. Only the start where he talks from the studio to the artists and when he pressed the space bar on the video we hear diegetic sounds. We also hear at the end of the video where everyone in the studio is cheering. Apart from that, the rest of the video contains the overly of the music track. We can tell this as at 1:28 in the video she isn’t singing, but the audio of her from the real recording is playing. She then joins back in with the original recording at 1:34
Mise en scene:
The performance part of the video is recorded in a recording studio, alongside the narrative part of the video which also happens in the studio, But some events take part outside of the studio, for example when he puts the speakers outside, and we see every running from the village.
By the looks from the outside buildings it quiet a rural village area, with not many shops, buildings and people around. But by posting his message on twitter letting people know where the recording is taking place, everyone in that area is able to go to it.
