Analysis of music videos similar to ours



Narrative - flashbacks of couple in early stages of relationship (making music together), next stage of relationship (bringing up child), children growing up (now boy and girl), reading stories to kids - nice family atmosphere

Different stories happening in one video: all a varied stages of their relationship
Man with his dogCouple bringing up children in family homeYoung couple at early stage of relationship (honeymoon period - no responsibilities)Old couple - shows fragility of age and struggle of other half becoming ill
Star Image
- James Arthur lip syncing throughout video in between narrative (flashbacks)- Given most camera time- Playing guitar shows that he is an organic artist (writes own songs)



Examples of Editing Techniques:
- Cut to the beat
- Eyeline match - james playing guitar
- Wide shot to close up of same action
- Blurred foreground
- Input rays of light
- Quick cuts from lip syncing to flash back - to show relationship progressing
- Reflection of window
- Shining light gets brighter - used as effective transition
- Match on action - as woman turns page of book
- Blur to focus



Examples of Camera Techniques:
- Low angle extreme close up shot emphasising star image immediately
- Extreme wide shot from distance showing boat in river
- Close-up of hands playing guitar - organic
- Camera rarely stays still - movement/progression of relationships
- Over shoulder shot when couple making music - from mans p.o.v
- Pan up to show couple smiling at each other
- Extreme close up of baby - shows progression of relationship
- Extreme close up of old man - showing emotion
