Analysing One Music Video

B.o.B feat. Bruno Mars "Nothin On You"

This is the video that I am going to analyse for the media project. The reason I have picked this video to analyse is because of the editing that has been used to make the video is unique, and is different from most of the other music videos that I have seen.
A lot of mid shots are used in the video which only shot above the shoulder and that shows facial expressions.
The editing is very quick as it uses lots of pictures to make the music video and all the shot have the singer in the middle. It uses lots of different images put together to make the video.
The lighting is focused on the singers head which makes him stand out and show the audience his expressions.

The Killers Music Comparison







The establishing shot in the first killers video is a close up of some wires in a desert. It is a low angle show of the wires and it moves up to show a letter K. The establishing shot in the second music video is another low angle shot of a man. This camera angle is used to make the man look big and powerful so we know he is important in the music video. The colours used in the first music video are most yellows which represents sand and in the second video it is shot in black and white. The costume that the man is wearing in the second music video make the man stand out more than the rest of the scene because he's wearing a very strong black.
The sound is both videos is just of the music track that the video is for. At the start of the first music video we hear one of the directors talking which is diagetic sound.
The setting for both music videos are similar because they are both set in deserted places which no one around.
