Wall of Glass - Music Video Analysis

Wall of Glass Music Video Analysis:

Sound:

Diegetic is the vocals as in the song as lyrics being song are visible through Liam Gallagher Singing them. Non Diegetic is the instruments used in the song as no band is relevant are displayed in the music video making it that but it belongs to be part of the song.

Lighting:

The lighting is low key in places but bright vibrant colours are added to see Liam singing. Very big contrast as it is mainly dark but some colours are used to add brightness. It matches the mood as it is a very heavy song and the mood is portrayed through lights as very aggressive and hostile with flashing flights and dull dark coloured lighting. 

Shot types:

Most are close ups of Liam singing. matching Goodwin's theories with lyrics 'I can see what is in your mind' and a close up of the face is used. Also, very intimidating song and to match it intimidating lyrics. Mirror shots also show intimidation with many deaths stares at the camera. Also, camera movements used are a lot of zoom ins and out towards and from the subject, Liam. Liam is in every shot and dominant helping get across an intimidating message and attitude linking to Dyer's Star Theory of showing artist characteristics. All very basic camera shots throughout. All cuts in the music video. When the pace of the song picks up so do the cuts jumping back and forth in time with the beat of the song. no over ones very basic methods and techniques used. 

Narrative:

The narrative of the music video is non-linear its mainly just a performance of the song. If anything it would be Levi-Strauss due to binary oppositions. This because of Liam and Noel Gallagher fall out it seems like Liam is calling Noel out or it is about him and this song displays this theory as many shots are Liam looking directly down the lenses trying to give that message.

Representation:

Liam matched the conventions perfectly. Wearing casual clothing, an attitude about him in his actions and putting across a message, an urban area in an abandoned type building and some violence when smashing the glass. Typical Britpop song with heavy guitar and rums and accent can be heard throughout which is a typical thing that define Britpop. 

This is of use to me in my research due to being able to gain ideas and knowledge from the original music video. As well as using my own ideas with a hybrid with the original video this post can help me determine the outcome of it and how it should look.
