Music Video Analysis
Video 1
Trey Songz, Wonder Woman
Wonder woman is an RnB/ Soul song so its target audience is towards young men and woman and I think it reaches it target audience well. The video for this song is very clean and fresh, it has elements of performance and narrative, and the narrative is just trey Songz trying to draw a girl. The way it is filmed is also very personal as throughout all the narrative section it is filmed in a point of view from the girl’s point of view so you don’t know what the girl looks like until the end when he gets her to his room. The mise en scene is places such as hotels, nice cloths shop and a Mercedes which are all simple places but still very effective.
Video 2
Jay z Rihanna and Kanye West, Run This Town
Run this town is a hip hop song with 3 very lucrative characters singing which already makes this a very popular song and to me the video is the best part! The mise en scene in this film is incredible. From the clothing to the set everything has been given lots of thought and there is a lot of meaning behind everything from the gangs to the narrative. Even though there is not a definite narrative and most of it is performance every shot and camera movement and editing is all on point to make this one of the best videos ive ever seen. The lighting is also very effective. It helps shows the characters statuses.
Video 3
Michael Jackson, Liberian girl
Liberian girl is a song off Michaels bad album and it contains many big celebrities which show how much of a big character Michael was himself and throughout the video they are asking where he is. And he shows up at the end playing a prank on them and it is funny.
