Case Study 3 - Analysing a music video

Summary
The video is about a women wanting to be closer to her husband instead of working he should be with her, and he shouldn't be taking over nights instead he should be getting off early and together they can 'work from home'. She wants him take care of her and not leave her at home.
They are building area where his job is and they are singing to him trying to get his attention and listen to them. The song means that all the work his is doing at his job he can put in that work into her and get the same work out of it.
The video is narrative and performance type because they are still telling and it is flowing as each band member is singing and also they have a routine dance to the song this is known as performance style video. 
Themes and Motifs  
  • They use building equipment to relate to the video of the guy's job, like the tool that make cement, hammers, heavy lifting what man would typically work as this is a bit of stereotyping cause its saying that men only work as builders and do the heavy lifting
  • It is also that women are the distraction because the singers are just walking around them doing there Job and dressing in the work outfit looking like them.

  • Representation of the stars
    The representation of the group is to look sexy for the men to come 'work at home', linking to what they are wearing denim shorts so that you can see the shape of their bodies it is also a hot day so you can see the men actors muscles and abs.
    Lip syncing is involved through the whole video because they also dancing in the video so this would be hard to do.
    They played the track over the filmed clips and edited it in so that it looks professional, the production levels look very good and because they are celebrities this is very key but I need to make sure I add this in my video or try to make it as professions as possible.

    1. Sorry, my comment didn't seem to save. I basically said good for adding a 3rd case study, it is a little descriptive. Closer analysis of techniques such as camera/edit would be useful. A little less detail than the other 2. (Which you didn't update)
