What have you learnt from this exercise?
Having analysed a narrative based music video which is the style of music video we intend to create, it has given me an insight into how a music video of this nature needs to be made, i can see in detail the type of shots needed to be used as well as being able to see how music is incorparated to match the track, it will make it much easy when coming to create our own music video, because we will be aware of the basic structure needed.
How long are the shots?
Most of the shots are between onw and three second shots, which consist of alot of detail, this helps to create an effective and believeable narrative.
How are they cut?
Most of the shots are very quick cuts from scene to scene showing the enviroment of which the video is shot in detail as well as giving the viewer a real insight into the video and helping them to be able to understand it in detail.
What shot size is predominantly used?
The main shot size within the video was Medium Close Ups, this allowed to give the main characters constant emotions, therefore alligning the viewer within as well as alos making it apparaent the goings on of the other charcters within the video and the background enviroment.
How does the camera move?
The canera rarely moves within the video it mainly showed static shots of the enviroment and the happenings of the video, when moving cams were used in tended to be a steady cam showing POV of the Man.
Are there any long static shots?
There are no long static shots the longest being about four seconds, this helps to create a detailed narrative, and really helps to bring the viewer into the narrative.
Relationship with lyrics/music?
The music throughout the song is linked towards the narrative, while changing the tempo and beat to match the masn emotions the subconsiously links the viewer towards the man, and therefore reinforces the narrative.
How is the narrative constructed?
The narrative is constructed by having many deatilied shots and it slowly builds up to the chase scene being man and machine, the music also helps add to the narrative as it is linked to the shots.
Are any types of performance shots repeated?
What will you now use from this when planning your own work?
When planning i will be able to use the ideas of how the shots should be and how to build up the narrativefor the planning of my music video.

This is a competent analysis (although it needs to be spellchecked). You address all the issues, but more technical detail on shot size and movement would have been useful.
