Illustration Music Video

This Video is by Chris Rea and it is called Road to Hell, it is a good song for the illustration as what he is singing about is what is shown on screen with the traffic jams and the soldiers bit of paper. This video is odd as it shows like a projection screen with the video on with Chris stood in front of it from time to time playing the guitar, This is a conventions video and the video itself has something to do with the lyrics.

Amplification Video

This video is by Kate Bush and it is called Hound of love, it is a amplification video as it does have some correlation to the lyric like when they are running through the woods, it is a good video to show this as not everything that is mentioned on the lyrics is seen on the video but there are links to certain parts of it. Everything in the shots is right with the mise-en-scene but it does miss certain parts out.

Disjuncture Music Video

This is a disjuncture video which means that the lyric don't have anything to do with what is going on in the screen play the mise-en-scene is wrong and they don't have anything to do with each other, prodigy do this with their videos a lot like Radio Head and Pink Floyd.

Analyse the promo

This is the Pink Floyd music video for High Hopes, Pink Floyd are renowned for their very abstract videos. You notice on the second shot there is a man stood near a Morris car that is filled with balloons, this is odd as it is not what you would expect to see in the countryside. we then move onto a shot where apples are rolling towards the camera this also is an odd shot to have as it doesn't describe what is in the lyrics, the shots keep going back to this guy near the Morris car looking into the distance, the shot is always from behind. The shot then moves onto people running in a field with a very long cape on this is unconventional as it is still not what the lyrics are talking about then we see 2 people in jester costumes doing some weight conversion moves in front of a large house. the shot continue to bewilder the audience as there is a shot of a stream with acoustic guitar floating down it, the next shot show people with very long legs and business attire walking next to each other with brief cases in hand. The shot still proceed to be bizarre.

The shot would take a lot of filming and the preparation would be hard to get it all together and get everything to look right, the costume would be difficult also. The video is there to make people wonder what is going on and to also question the unquestionable, which is what Floyd have done through this video.  Floyd also use a verity of shots and use close ups, long shots, mids and many others.
