First ten frames video analysis- Just A Girl

Just A Girl- No Doubt








The video begins with a man uncover a car which is a long shot and lasts roughly 1 second.








The second shot pictures the lead singer and the only female member of the band who is walking to the car for band practice, showing the theme of the video to be that women can be in rock. The use of the band in the video over actors means this video is more performative. This also a 1 second shot.






This is a low-angle shot with only men in it which makes them seem intimidating to the viewer like the way women in the rock industry may be made to feel which helps the audience to feel sympathy for Gwen Stefani.








The fourth frame lasts about 1 second and this series of short frames may represent the fast paced lifestyle being in the rock industry. 







1 second low angle shot








1 second shot shows the men seeming to take charge in what they are doing which shows the stereotype that women should just follow along.








The shots begin to get shorter and faster here which makes it feel chaotic for the viewer and may give them an insight to life for a woman in the rock industry.

The men are shown to be loading the car which is displaying the stereotype that men should take charge and carry the woman's stuff for her.









The frame shows an average-looking middle class American house which may be similar to those of the audience and therefore relates to the title ‘I’m Just A Girl’ because it suggests that she is like any other woman trying to make her way in a male-dominated workplace.

-I have used green as the main colour on the logo because it is not stereotypically a ‘girly’ colour and this links to the video that it is okay to oppose social norms -The artist’s name is written in a signature style to make it seem more personal -The black silhouette represents the artist and the hairstyle shown will be the same one she is wearing in the video

Video analysis- People Help The People

Image
People Help The People- Birdy -The video focuses on the idea that you shouldn’t jump to conclusions and judge people if you don’t know them because there is probably a story behind their actions and that everyone is equal and you should try and help someone no matter who they are. -It is in black and white, which removes the factor of race and emphasises that everyone is equal. -Most of the shots are in a crowded space and the camera continuously focuses in on specific people throughout with the close ups giving the audience a better view of their emotions and emphasis on every individual’s own story. -In particular, there is a deep focus shot of a man sitting on the steps who looks sad which helps to gain the audience’s sympathy and also may make them question the reason behind his sadness and therefore realise that there are always things you don’t know about someone -As the video is shot in the crowded streets of London, it shows a wide range of people going about...
