Task: Music Video Analysis

Choose a music video that evokes thoughts in you. It can be interesting or startling.

Try to find a video that, together with the song, attempts to convey a message in your opinion.

Present the song and the video and analyze how they relate to each other and what the music video aims to say.

Analyze the style of the music video and the style of the music and how they relate to each other. Are there ambiguous parts in the video?

INSTRUCTIONS:

Familiarize yourself with the song and its lyrics calmly. Write down your thoughts about the song, its mood, and its theme.

Then watch the video. Write down everything you notice and interpret from it.

On the first viewing, you can also try to write down just the events of the video, expressing them as neutrally as possible, without additional meanings.

You can also mark all the points where you found interesting aspects or additional meanings.

Watch the video again, looking for more points that support your thoughts on what the video aims to say. If you find contradictions in the video, mark them down as well.

Also examine the filming method, the technique used to create the video, and how it affects the mood (e.g., handheld camera, the relationship of cuts to the structure or rhythm of the song). Also, the perspective, who is watching and from what position, can be worth considering.

Does the video have a turning point and how does it relate to the song?

Are the video and the song aligned or in conflict with each other? What do you think is being conveyed?

Based on your notes, write a clean analysis where you explain what happens in the music video as a whole, presenting both the musical and visual parts and briefly explaining their relationship and highlights. Also, provide your interpretation of the message of the music video with justification.
