Analysing a music Video
This music video is a very typical Take Away Show. Simplicity dominates both the music and the visual aspect of it. The whole music video is filmed with one camera, and is practically one continious shot after the first minute.
The video starts by establishing who the producer is, who the artists are and the country. The typography is the one used in every Take away show. Shots of the surroundings help us to identify the place and the relaxed atmosphere.
The way that the singer uses sticks to represent chucks, it shows the audience that this is a laid back kind of music video, very informal. From then on , the music video is practically a 6 minute long shot of the musicians playing and walking/running next to a functioning train station. There is no clear story or structure, and most of the things that happen are probably spontaneous, like the person going down the stairs and the trains passing.
The camera moves constantly, circling around the artists , running after them, like a game.
One can immediately tell that perfection was not a priority in the making of this music video, but this imperfection is what makes it so special.
It is strange that for a live music video such a noisy place was chosen, but the reason for this can be to create contrast between the relaxing music to the hectic noise created by the passing trains.
At the end , information about the artists and the producers themselves by giving the websites .
