Oasis - Wonderwall - Music Video Analysis

Oasis - Wonderwall - Music Video Analysis:

Sound:

 Within the music video diegetic sound is used throughout the whole music video with vocals and instruments are displayed with several shots showing them in time with the song. This links to Goodwin’s' theory with relationship between music and visuals matching to Liam Gallagher singing and the shot being on him. 

Lighting: 

Is very dull as the colour scheme is black and white throughout the song. This matches the conventions of the genre with colours being very dull. The guitars are blue and green in the song highlighting the importance of it within the song as the guitar is used throughout the period of the song. 

Shot types:

These vary from close up shots to long shots. The close ups tend to either focus on the instrument being used or members of the band. However, there also long shots involving all the band together. There are also random shots of the messing about playing darts or sitting together. This is them trying to create a rapport with the audience to show they're ordinary lads having a mess about. This is done by the industry to try and create more fans ultimately creating more revenue for the company.

Narrative:

There is not a set narrative in the music video. It doesn't follow any of the structures that are normally there as it is non-linear. It is just a music video where they perform the song to an audience using the music video. 

Representation:

It matches perfectly to the conventions of the genre. Wearing branded casual clothing, the setting being located in an abandoned urban building and a Britpop attitude. 

This research is useful to me in order to execute the music video in a similar fashion, with a few adjustments, and make replicate it to the best of my ability.
