Analysis of rock music 3

This is another example of rock music. This is a very popular and well known rock song. The video is showing a story. There is quite a lot of lip syncing in this video and is very accurate. There are plenty of shots in this video, a lot of clos ups of the instruments being played and also a lot of shots of the singers themselves, there are some effects shown as well which are quite intrigueing. Thr film is in black and white, again a typical effect used in rock music.

Cinematography

A lot of the shots in this video are of instruments such as guitars, harps and violins. This could perhaps show the love oasis have for their music and instruments. Many of the shots are mid shots showing their chest upwards with little close ups. Although this song is quite emotional and slow the mid shots show enough facial expression and body language so there's no need for lots of close ups.

Mise en scene
The location seems to be set in a warehouse, the film is in black and white. Again a convention of rock music with the main colours normally black. The only colour in this video is mainly the guitars where you see a green guitar and a blue one. Main Props can include chairs, instruments and mirrors. These are mostly shown in the video.

Editing

Through editing there is a rotation where the singer is slowly spinning around. This may be to show his confusion and expression and emotions. Some shots are slowed down and some are quicker than others which is good because theres a variety of paced sequences.  Other effects can include the 12 pictured frame of the singer, these little effects add detail to the video.

Sounds

Like most videos all the music is diegetic but may have some voiceovers in there. The music itself is quite a slow song and uses guitars and drums as its main instruments. These instruments play a bit part in the conventions of rock music as the main rock instruments to rock music consist of drums, guitars and violins.
