Video 1Justin Bieber- What Do You Mean Lighting■ There has been two different main sources of light (blue and pink)

used in this music video could give our group possible ideas if we were to choose a pop genre song which would match the style of lighting and Mise En Scene very well.

■ Furthermore, this effect of the lighting gives an almost modern, futuristic sense to it which could be seen as a USP (Unique Selling Point).

Video 2Olly Murs- Dance With Me Tonight■ The use of narrative woven into the performance is very good in the

editing style of this video■ This type of editing is called Montage editing which I would like to

incorporate into my groups music video. ■ In this video particularly, I found that more frequent cutting between

the narrative and performance sections of the video creates an enjoyable experience for the viewer and also builds pace and tension which I would like to re create in our music video.

Video 3Conor Maynard- R U Crazy■ The effects of lighting in particular throughout this video are very

good in the effect they have on the viewer. ■ You are able to understand the narrative of the performance through a

silhouette which is comparative to the performance where there is a black background.

■ This small feature used creates a big effect and have a professional look which as a group we could possibly consider re creating for a performance section as a base track for our music video.

Video 4Coldplay- Princess of China■ The background settings are very iconic making the establishing

setting shots clear and also create a narrative with a setting.■ Furthermore, the changing of shot types is good and how they are

able to cut between them effectively to give a big picture along with XCU shots to show details.

■ Most importantly, there is a clear motif and idea which is shown mainly shown through Mise En Scene is repetitively shown through the whole video. We could consider this when thinking of a USP for our artist in the production of our music video.

Video 5Kanye West- No Church In The Wild

■ The use of narrative and performance with the balance between both is very good in this music video. The establishing setting shots and first few shots help create a clear picture of the message and meaning of the song.

■ The lights being used in the middle image create a shadow over the artist which looks very professional, something we could possibly look into for our narrative or performance section shots.
