Vintage Trouble - Nobody Told Me Video Analysis

The band are represented as quite cool looking and all appear quite emotional, which conveys the feeling of the song.

The set is a white room, which just includes the whole band and their music instruments. There appears to be a washed out effect that also conveys the calmness of the song.

The band are all wearing fairly retro clothing, which goes with the genre of their music - which was more prominent in the 40s and 50s.

The cutting rate is very slow, which is a visual representation of the music. This affects the audience by relaxing them, which appears to be the intention of the video.

Blur - Song 2 Video Analysis

The band are represented as rather 'cool' and tough as they are in a dimly lit room and appear to be trying to look like a cool rock band. This contrasts with their previous, older videos that seem jokey and light-hearted.

The set is a small room, that appears to be when they are having a band practise. The whole video is in this same room, but as the video progresses, it appears there is strong wind, and the band members are blowing around.

They are all wearing fairly casual clothing which would suggest they are having a practise. Their props support this point as they are all playing the instrument that they play in the band.

The cutting rate varies throughout the video, however it tends to be fast paced as the music is fast paced.

Muse - Knights of Cydonia Video Analysis

At the start of the video, the band aren't represented at all, instead there are various shots of a "Cowboy". However throughout, there are short cuts of the band playing. They are all dressed smartly in shirts and a couple of them are wearing big leather hats.

At one point the band are represented quite futuristically as an image of them is projected in a blue light. This could be a visual imagery of what their music sounds like, as they use synthesisers which give the electronic, futuristic sound.

Throughout parts of the video, there is a fast cutting rate. However, this varies throughout the video according to the pace of the music.

Black Eyed Peas - Music Video Analysis

I analysed the music video of the song "Where is the love" by Black Eyed Peas. The music video gives off many connotations throughout. One image is shown throughout the clip (shown below).

 This is shown in various places ie signs, cars, walls. I believe it is a visual image to represent the meaning of the song, which is essentially, that "everyone should care for everyone else." This meaning is also shown in the name of the song and in various lyrics throughout the song.

Throughout the song, there are various religious connotations like in the lyrics "practise what you preach" and in the ending, everyone is looking up to the sky and the lighting is brighter.
