MusicVideos

The song i have chosen to analyse is Glory by Bastille https://vimeo.com/220631193.

Imagery
The shot types used in this music video are mainly over the shoulder shots, however there are other types of shots for example they used a low angle shot for the bar scenes and later on in the video they used a helicopter to get a high angle shot of the view around them. The camera movements were as though it was from another persons perspective and they followed the two main people around throughout the video. Throughout the video there wasn't just one scene, there were multiple scenes to show that the two main people had been moving it gives a sense that they filmed the video and different scenes over a course of days to get the right shots that work well with the video and work smoothly together.

Sound
Throughout the entire video is the music however the opening and the ending is silent with an aeroplane flying to create miss-en-scene to attract the audience to the video. Sounds like the keys clinking together when Dan picks them up from the bar and when the tumble weed rolled onto the road when the wind was blowing, these sounds create a sense of reality. In the song there instrumental bits to make the song sound professional. The longest stretch of instrumental is at the end of the song which is about 40 seconds long. The music and sounds included in the song fit the genre type and would appeal to someone who likes alternative music.

Mise-En-Scene
The costumes worn in this video aren't very stereotypical but they're the sort of clothes those people would wear. Throughout the video there are only two main actors and other side actors that hold up signs on the side of the road and one other actress who is dancing on the side of the road. The two main characters act out specific scenes as though it is all real and it works well with the music and the type of video. The setting and lighting of each setting is perfect for each shot and scene. The lighting works well with each location as well. For the type of shots in each scene the lighting works well because you can see the two actors and the setting around them. This is also effective in the opening and closing scenes on the car at night. The locations chosen for the video work well with each other as they make sense together and they work well together,
