Classification Research

We are looking to target our video at ages but it will most likely need to have Parental Guidance due to mild violence and emotional scenes that may not be suitable for younger viewers so its left down to the parents to decide.

Analysis Of Student Music Videos - Saturday Night

Song : The Thrills - Saturday Night

During the video, it shows the group performing as a band with animation which for the genre, does show some characteristics of it. The location of the video is also quite genre specific as the song is an indie genre and filming down a side street with a band so it definitely demonstrates the genre characteristics.

The relationship between the lyrics and visuals in the is quite amplifying as at points in the video, you can tell that they have chosen the shot to fit with the song but at some points it is contradicting.

The relationship between the music and visuals is illustrative as during most of the video the three from the group are playing animated instruments to fit with the music

The video also has a lot of close ups of the lead of the band which in a typical music video, would be the demands of the record label to fit with the artists contract.

Initial Ideas (Supposed to be the first post)

Our initial ideas for "Second Time Around" were that we were going to have one of us playing the lead in the videos, essentially be Lady Gaga. It would be filmed in Cambridge on Christs Piece or Jesus Green and the lead would see someone else with her boyfriend. We also thought that we could use the window at the media studio to show her sat down a bit upset but happy to be out of the unhappy relationship.
