Music Video - Textual Analysis

In deciding how to shoot our preliminary task we selected a few artists that were similar, one of which was a band called 'Funeral Party'. We chose their song 'Finale' as it was simple, yet effective.

This is one of the music videos we will get inspiration from when filming our prelim music video. 


Camera Work:
 - Close ups of singer
 - Medium close ups of the band
 - Close ups of their instruments
 - Hand help camera; Guerrilla style


Editing:
 - There is no narrative in this music video
 - They cut between the band, the instruments and close ups



Mise-en-Scene:
  - The mise-en-scene is very simple. The band is located in an empty room
  - The room is dark and gloomy with one window with light beaming in 
  - There is a slightly greenish light 
  - They have chosen this location as I think it reflects their image
  - The walls have graffiti and the paint is peeling
  - There are cables on the floor, highlighting they are focused on their music as they are an              organic band
