As well as comparing videos from the same genre I have also looked at videos individually. The first video I looked at on its own and analysed was Oasis – Stop crying your heart out. This was again from the English rock genre and also again from the 90’s, the video is a mix of both performance and narrative based.
The video starts off with a match being stuck we then see a image of the band this is showing us that straight away the video is a mixture of both performance and narrative. After this we then see the bands lead singer and then a shot of were they are playing. From this we can tell that it is either a studio or somewhere like a tv studio were they are performing. We then go into some of the narrative based, again from this we can tell that the setting is in a city we can tell this because of the large billboards that are displayed around the actor. As we carry on into the video more we see that it is a tv studio because of the lighting.
The band in the video follow the typical 90’s English rock look, this is apparent with there hair and they way they dress. The actor is the video also follows a 90’s look but this is more with a afro hair, this is not a typical English rock look but this is because she is not actually in the band.
The camera work in the video contains a lot of close up shots, these are usually shots of the lead singer but there are also close us of the actor. Some of the shots have movement in them these are in the form of dolly shots or in the studio more tracking shots. As well as this in the video there are also various pan shot. In the studio shots some sort of filter has been placed over the camera, this looks like it is either a tobacco or a red filter, this make it look like a old tv. In the city shots on the other hand they have used a graduated filter, this brings out the blue in the sky for the video. They also in both purposely try and get lens flare by putting the camera on a angle to the light source, in the studio this is tbe artificial stage lighting while the narrative uses the sun to get the flare.
Throughout the video they have put on a old TV effect, this is in the form of the filters and also in the editing they have overlaid a mask to make a old rounded rectangle 4:3 tv like the first tvs were. The editing of the video uses a lot of jump cuts jumping between the narrative and the performance videos, the pace of the editing throughout the video is quite slow as this fits in with the song that is also quite slow.
