music video of N - Dubz "I Need You"



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nxq-wCf5G8o
















Aspects of Performance:



The band are always in all of their videos relating todays technology and issues in their lyrics.







Narrative:



The narrative is linear because it tell a story of how they met someone at a club and couldn't get hold of them the next day.







How the video effects or produces a larger image for the Star/ Artist/ Band:



The band show their musical talents and the fact that they have money by the amount of bling they have around they necks and wrists.




How the visual relates to the stars:
The visual shows the artists as rich and talented so show off how much they've got.







Mise-en-scene:

the costume at night all the acts are in black or grey with shnny objecs around their necks and wrists, they all arive in different forms of transport(a helicopter, a motorbike and a lambourgini car), when they go into the club they are all dressed in red and white with the male characters wearing big black sun glasses and wearing their trade mark materials (hats, chains, earings).
one of the male characters uses up to date lyrics by talking about facebook a communication device on the internet. they use lyrics like neddle in a hay stack and some others to show their writing talents. when they meet the opposite sex they want to talk to they enter a room of privacy and their fantasies of richs and pleasure. the shots makes them cut to outside with their modes of transport all showing, then when they all get together for the chorus they are all sat on a lightened up seat in the club showing their importance, the second male character goes inot his room of pleasure and riches and its full of tvs and fish bowles and posters. all the rooms had a red look in them to show the heat of the moment meeting someone for the first time and showing the heat of the moment. at the end of the video the artisits show off all their belonging such as cars bling and eyes which most arists wearing sunglasses don't show as much.






Use of camera:

Mid-shots, full shots, 2 shots, zooms in and out, tilts, wipe, close ups, extreme close ups , low angle and high angle shots and panning shot, also using the track .







Special Effects:


There wern't any used.








Genre:

Pop, Rap, Hip Hop and Dance.









Audience:

The target audience would be teenagers around 13 - early 20's






Music Channel:

Editing:

The songs starts with the helicopter car and bike shown in different ways, the shots cut from the three different stars and they are full body shots. with close ups of the face on the stars when they start to sing, theres a whipe across the screen to show what they did the night before and show the face expressions of the people they like and shows the order the song is goin to go in with the way they look at the singers, it goes mid shot full body then back to close up to show the intestity of the moment, and does a slow motion walk as they are let down, also shows a point of view shot of the first character on facebook, the character all gather round the camera at different heights to show all their faces in the sceen, when the female character starts singing there are 7 cuts of different settings with the close up of her face the visual relates to the lyrics with the "Bang bang shoes" and the "looking so confused" face expression. and when the chorus starts the shots differ between close ups, full shots, low angles, high angles, three shots with zoom ins and zoom outs when the second male singer starts singing his solo there is a two mid shot, with close ups to show his lip syncing when he has a girl in his section with most of the shot looking up at him with low angles and when the girl leaves as he comes back he is in slow motion as he looks for her and a mid shot of him swinging his arm in frustration as he loses her. As the song comes to an end the cameras angles show the artists as only human but still pretty important with a tilt shot of the artists to show of their bodies in the way they want to see them potrayed on television, the music video finishes with a shot showing all the artists and finishes with a tilt and a shot of the sun rise to show another day is going to happen so forget about the past.






Represenation:

It shows the stars as gangsters but they still have feeling and want to meet the right person for them.

We Have Band - You Came Out (Official Music Video)

The aspects of perfromance:

The characters in the video all have the same face expression because the face is replicated and shown as a mirror image on all the faces, shows stop motion at its best.

Narrative:

The song is non-linear because it makes no sense and doesnt really have a clear beginning in a story or a story at all so its a freeform video.

How the video effects or produces a large image for the star/artist/Band:

The people at the beginning show their importance in the music video and will show that they are going to be main characters in the music video.

How the visual relate to the stars:

It shows the artist has a wild imagination and wanted to make the video stand out in the world of today with all different kinds of music video.

Mise-en-scene:

You dont see their clothes but their faces show lots of different colours and there is lip sayncing witht the stop motion showing mouths moving and mouthing the words.

Use of camera:

The camera stays still and the actors/actresses move instead

Special efffects:

The special effects are paint rolling down they faves and the eyes moving on the eye lids also they made their eyes go onto the hands e.g. just like in pan's labyrinth.

Genre:

The genre is dance pop.

Audience:

The audience to the music video would be young ravers such as 13-25 ish.

Music Channel:

MTV, Viva, Smash Hits

Editing:

The editing is cut between close ups of the whole face and extreme close ups of the mouth area where the lip syncing is happening to the beat of the song.

Audience:

The target audience will be from the ages of 13-25 because of its dance beat and the lyrics can sing along too.
