Music video research

Beyonce -Pretty hurts
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXXQLa-5n5w
Camera Work- The narrative of this song is about how girls are influenced by fake people the media and Beyonce shows it’s not natural to be like the girls the media keeps advertising. Iconography-  For iconography the music video uses props such as measuring tapes (Which was to measure her waist)so she can be like something nobody is and she used pills in the video so she can be skinny for her pageant show which is wear this music video is set. Setting- This is set in a pageant show where everyone is judged on how they look.

Bjork-Human Behaviour
Creative Concept- I think it’s about her going on an adventure being chased by super natural things which is subversive because this is not really normal ‘Human behaviour’ to be running from giant teddy bears made to look like grizzly bears.Character- The main character of this music video is Bjork who goes on an adventure and she’s the main singer .Iconography-In this music video there’s teddy bears that have been made big to make this music video more interesting and giant moths which is really different with because everything around those super natural props is normal Setting-This music video is set in the middle of the woods and she’s on an adventure .

1)    Coldplay - The Scientist
Mise-en-scene-
This is probably meant to be a sad apologetic song as he says ‘take me back to the start’ which might mean he want to go back to somebody. The main character in this is Coldplay .They used props like bikes and the bike they use went with the lyrics because when he said back to the stars the bike went back. The setting is of him lying on a mattress on the streets like he has lost everything.
2)    Willow Smith Summer fling
Narrative-This video is about Willow Smith having fun in the summer with her friends they show that in the music video when they jump on the the trampoline in the pool party it shows thm having fun.They use props like pools and trampolines to show them all happy and to show them having a good time.This music party is set at a pool party and through the music video they show them in different places.
3)Rihanna –Diamond
Performance-
In this music video Rihanna uses diamononds in her hands as apart of the performance .This song is about Rihanna comparing her and her boyfriend to beautiful diamonds in the sky as she keeps saying in the song “we’re like diamonds in the sky”.They used propps like like diamonds as the song name is “Diamond”and black horses which connotes
