Task 18: Analysis of 3 music videos

The script (for the first time)

I have chosen to analyse this music video by the script because it tells a story all throughout and i really like the way that it links the narrator to the actual story, In my own music video we will try and do something similar where we will tell a story by using flashbacks or cut a ways of possibly a couple breaking up. I think that the best music videos are the ones that tell a story because most people out there can relate to it and feel some kind of connection because everyone goes through that bad break up at one point in their lives.

I have chosen to analyse this music video because it has a clear and distinct storyline and in our own music video we will be trying to do something similar, the best thing about this video to me is that it is not just a singer in a studio with a few lights, it is almost like a short film where she is looking back into the past where she let a previous love get away. There is also a lot of emotion in this video which i great because it is a sensitive topic and it is one that a lot of people out there will be able to relate to. In terms of props there were not really that many used and this is because you don't really need masses of props in this style of music so we will keep that in mind when we make our own video.

The reason that I have chosen to examine this music video by beyonce is because again there is a lot of raw emotion and passion that she puts into not just this music video but into all of her videos and i think if we manage to echo this effect and really create a feeling then we will end up with a really good music video, Also in this video there are a number of cut a ways of which tell the story, now i think all the good music videos out there tell a really good strong story so in our video we will try and do something similar and link it in with our song.
