Textual analysis of music videos 2


The Music video I am analysing is dj’s Fresh-Gold Dust, which was directed by Ben Newman. This genre of music belongs to dub step.
The broad characteristics of this genre has people expected to dance and random stuff such as roller-skating or skate boarding swimming etc.
The lyrics of the video talks about how you wont get enough of this song however how the music video is structured they differ from each other as they don’t relate to each other in any way for an example rope jumping.
The video has an introduction of a girl singing a little rhyme but as I am using the dub step version this one just cuts straight to the beat.
You also see when the little girl is singing solo there is a man skateboarding.
The section of when the jump roping happens and the girls are jumping that is the same pace as the original piece of music itself.
The record company is looking to sell this music by making people get up and dance to the beat; the artist is not present on this video
 This song or video says that the person who made this likes dub step
In this video I do not get the sense that the artist is on sexual display. Nothing in the video implies any sexual nature or activity
These features may have been chosen to show people to just have fun and to have a good time.
His video does relate to other videos such as “Louder” also associated with DJ fresh.
All of DJ’s Fresh videos has always dancers or random activity in his types of music video moreover this video is performanced based as it contains people talents
In conclusion DJ’s fresh has videos which associates with a lot of random talent which makes the video extraordinary moreover the artist is not present in this video this type of music is danceable it has no explicit materials so this tells me that this video is just used to make people dance and enjoy the types of videos the artist or the director makes.

Evaluative Analysis

The conventions I have used in my poster are:
The Heading of the film
Ø  Critic’s ratings
Ø  A tag line
Ø  Central image
Ø  An age rating
Ø  Credits at the bottom
Ø  Actors names at the top
These would appeal to the audience because it has very exciting images of the actors
It has a very catch tagline which would make people interact with it more
The critics rating will tell the audience how good this movie is and my movie has three five star ratings from different medias
The actors name at the top would appeal to the audience because if they have favourite actors that they like it would make them want to see the movie even more regardless the reviews.
The man in my film poster is represented as a hero you will notice this because of the way his stance is and he has a gun strapped to the side of his trousers.
There is also a transparent image of a women centred in the middle of the poster she is represented as a sex symbol and is a bad character with a steam6y attitude.
I have chosen both of these pictures in these particular stances to catch the audience’s eyes when it is advertised.
The text is also centred which says “The shadow”. I have chosen this text because this would give an understanding of what the film is about to the audience who has chosen a particular interest in this poster.
In the beginning of my trailer the Warner bros. logo would appear and there would be a sound effect of the wind blowing.
There would there be an entrance to a park and a lamppost shining over with a yellow dim light again the sound effect of wind blowing and there would be a voice over talking.
It would then again be the same shot for a second then you see a shadow of a foot appear then run into the darkness.
There would then be blackout with a white text saying “A Warner Bros Production” The sound effect would be a drum effect.
There would then be a woman with a hat with a flower attached to it showing her dress but her face is hidden. The sound effect would again be a chromatic drumbeat solo. The figure is there for 2 or 3 seconds.
There would then be another blackout with white text saying “In association with wonderlights”. The sound effect would be a drumbeat solo.
You would then see another shot of the same woman but now she is looking up towards the camera and has a sickening smile again the sound effect would be another chromatic drumbeat solo.
Another blackout would take place but there is no sound effect for the first 2.5 seconds then you hear the door creaking and a heart wrenching scream.
You then see the image of a man and its shadow breaking the man’s neck and blood pouring out (this would appear for a split second)
Then the films heading “the shadow” would appear in a green font and at the bottom it would say “coming soon to cinemas”,
I have chosen Warner bros because Warner bros is a big company which have managed many film such as:
Ø  Unknown
Ø  Arthur
