Analysis of Similar Products: Music Videos

This music video by Scouting for Girls is a product in which can have massive similarities and differences between themselves and other artists. Just as for other Artists this is the same for Maise Mae. In both of the songs that Maise sings and the ones that are performed by Scouting for Girls the lyrics to the song acts as a narritive to a story the artist wishes to either tell or make the audience apart of/ relate to.
        In this instance we are looking at how the video tells the story which then relates to the lyrics as this video inperticual has caught my eye by the way it has been set out and how the director has made a humours side to the story. This is different because if you were to listen to the lyrics which used within the song you would not think of the song as a happy or lightened story, whereas the video depicts the story as a typical love story but with a funny side to it, for example how nobody really changes over time, which is shown by the same clothes being worn by both the children and the adults.
      In this video the emotions are shown by the bright colours that are present thoughout the whole video, and unlike most music videos the artists do not appear in this sequence once. Also everything that happens seems like it is happening in the same setting whereas each even unfolds in a different place. The reason it all seem the same is that everywhere the music video takes the audience the colour of the grass, sky and buildings are almost the same and makes the audience believe that the characters which are within the story never change anything about themselves and the love triangle is present throughout the whole event.
     In Maisie video we could use the idea of the costumes being very colourful and retro to lighten up the story while the song narrates it. The best song for this would be Nerd Love as this song shows a similar story line but a more happier one. The story would have to be slowed down with the tempo of Maise's song but then we can also do this by slowing down the speed between changes from one shot to the other and also the movement of the whole video, between all the characters.
