Artist/director: Darude
Features to look for
Genre characteristics
- long shots
- moving camera- which is sometimes handheld
- sportswear- this relates to lots of energy being used as the music is fast-paced
- very repetitive
- 0.40 minutes
What is the relationship between the lyrics and visuals?
- there aren't any lyrics- which is quite typical/commonly found in songs of this genre
- either no lyrics or very few
- the only sound outside of the music is a dog snarling
- 2.01 minutes
What is the relationship between the music and visuals?
- as the best gets faster, the movement, in relation to this, does also
- running- significant as the music is very fast/ energetic
- 0.33 minutes
Are there close-ups of the artist and star image motifs?
- I am assuming that the actual artist is not in the video, but there are medium shots and close-ups of things that relate to the video
- no extreme close-ups of the people's faces
- there is no reference to star image motifs
- 0.49 minutes
Is there reference to the notion of looking?
- there are people along the journey that watch the chase
- there are no references to the 'male gaze'
- 1.11 minutes
Is it performance-based or concept-based? How much of each?
- narrative-based
- story of running and being chased- taken something
- no performance or concept in the video
- 0.35 minutes
Evaluation of analysis
After analysing a music video for this particular genre of music, I can conclude that this type of song is not befitting my groups' interests or abilities.
