MUSIC VIDEO ANALYSIS/COMPARISON: Corinne Bailey Rae – Stop Where You Are & David Guetta – Titanium ft. Sia

The music video for ‘Titanium’ is set in a neighbourhood. The music video starts off in a school which has been destroyed and deserted. A little boy is cradled up in a ball. He wakes up and walks down the corridor, catching the attention of a teacher who hurriedly closes the door. It is clear to the audience that the boy has something to do with the situation that the school finds itself in. The boy starts to run away, and cycles home as the police are alerted by the teacher. When the boy arrives at his house, his special powers are displayed, where he can move objects without touching them (known as telekinesis). The policemen break into the house, and the boy uses his powers to escape them. The video ends after the boy runs into the forest and the police finally catch him. The boy ends the video in the same position he started it; cradled up in a ball, this time on the forest floor. There is a large explosion as the video ends, of which the circumstances are unknown to the...

MUSIC VIDEO ANALYSIS: Emeli Sande – Heaven

‘Heaven’ is a song by Emeli Sande that was released in 2011. It is hard to categorise the song into one genre, however it has elements of both pop and R&B. The video was filmed in Bethnal Green in London, which is known as quite a rough place to live. The audience are shown some of the struggles that we may take for granted because we don’t experience these struggles ourselves, such as poverty and homelessness. There are many shots of people looking up to the skies, which links to the theme of heaven (the title of the song). These continue throughout the whole video. One of the first shots is of a woman walking down stairs, from a light area to a dark area. This shows that she is walking from a ‘good place’ to a ‘bad place’. This relates to the title of the song, as walking down into the darkness connotes hell. There are also various shots behind railings, which gives off the impression of imprisonment. It shows that the people living in this area are looking on at the enjoyment ...

MUSIC VIDEO ANALYSIS: Khalid – Location

The music video for American R&B singer Khalid’s song ‘Location’ was released on 26 th September 2016. The video was shot in El Paso, Texas (where the artist comes from). The video has both performance and narrative elements to it. The opening shot is an extreme long shot of the desert and it immediately sets the scene for the audience. There is also another extreme long shot of El Paso (in this instance, the audience are told that it is set in El Paso), however it is more of the city rather than the plain desert. This shows the audience the variety of the town. All of the aerial shots which have helped to set the scene have been filmed using a drone, which can not only establish the setting, but can move around it too. The first few opening shots also show the artist and the title of the song, and even how to pronounce his name. The audience are shown the director of the music video, however we are shown his name on social media, which reinforces the power of social media t...
