The Killers- Mr, Brightside

Analysing a Music Video (The Killers- Mr, BrightsideAnalysing)

One if the main colour within this video is red which connote love and danger, this corrpsonse with the lyrics as the song is about a love triangle.In the storyline the band is given the low statue which makes the audience belive that they are orinigial people who have the same emotion as them.the band as limted the representation of the lyrics and has focus on the narrtive. There is a big contrass with the acters and the audience; the acter are dress to represent the early 1990s/1800s however the target audience are young adults and teenager but my doing this it widers the target audience because people who can remeber the early 1990s can relate to the costumers.

Long shots are used to show the audience more idea about what is going on in the room this allows the audience to feel as they are in the room.Fast cuts are used within the video which corrsponse with the emotion of the lyric- confuess and not sure whats happening, this is a good way the band has created enigma has you are unable to see very detail on the first veiwing therefore they would need to watch again.Close ups of the band make the band member seen more relistic and make the audience feel like they have an connect with them.

Analysing An Advert Poster

This is another poster that does not have any band member which shows that the band want the main ocus to be on their music not the band themselfs.Within the poster however the image used is connected with the albums name which is writen is a clear front. The bands and album name is in the center of the poster  which connote how important it is also it takes the viewer eye straight to the center. them bottom image is of derset which sets a warm feeling to the album  however the purples and white creats calm feeling which helps represent the laid back music on the ablum, the image of the moon and landspace also help create this feeling too. The information is on the last thrid of the so the image is to catch the audience then the important  information is right under.

Analysing an CD Cover 

The image of the band is very chilled and laid back which could symbolize the music on the CD. The band member are in casual clothes which suggest that they would like to fit in with the audience and not stand, just your average boys. None of the are looking at the camera however 4 of them are looking at the same way but  audience cant see what they are looking that. the boy at the left standout from the rest of the group as he is looking the other way.When opening the CD cover you realize the band was looking at the dog.

Both Images are the same but to make them look different they have edited the tone of the image. the image is not very clear which make the audience wonder what it is.
