Lyric Analysis

In this task, we had to analyse the lyrics of our chosen song, this is because lyrics play a huge part in the way the song is perceived by the audience. Some songs seem to have no relevance to the lyrics whatsoever, so we decided to choose a song in which it would be easier to link the visuals to the lyrics in some way. We did this because we felt that it would lead to a more successful music video if the audience is able to make a link and actually understand and interpret what they are watching in concordance with the lyrics. From this in depth analysis, I learnt that there are many different ways in which you can understand lyrics and therefore expand on them in your thoughts, so the more powerful the lyrics, in turn the more effective the music video becomes. We are able to create a literal music video based on these lyrics which is what we wanted. This is because as well as emulating the lyrics with the cinematography, we are able to experiment and do a lot more with the camera work than usual.  This gives us the freedom to explore various techniques with the camera as well as editing.
