maroon 5 harder to breathe analysis

PowerPoint Presentation

m5 1.pngm5 2.pngm5 3.pngm5 4.pngWithin the first 3 seconds we already see the use of a simple effect to make the opening scene more exciting to view. As well as this the drum kit is the opening to the video as it is performance based and the drummer overall starts the beat.

m5 5.pngm5 6.pngWe are now introduced to the bassist and the pianist. This is shown through a mid shot.

We are then shown the complete band (Maroon 5) as the singer and guitarist are added to this overall mid shot.

m5 7.pngm5 8.pngm5 9.pngClose up shots are now introduced to allow the viewer to identify and be able to see a distinct difference in the members.

m5 10.pngm5 11.pngWe now see our first camera movement as the camera tracks up from the guitarist feet to reveal a low angle shot of him.

m5 12.pngm5 13.pngm5 14.pngWe see the use of cutaways between shots of the singer to keep the video more interesting due to the song having a fast beat.

m5 15.pngm5 16.pngWe are shown another close up of the singer as he is technically the most important member as he produces the lyrics which in turn makes the song.

As well as a close up we are shown a new mid shot, which shows 2 other members in the background.

m5 17.pngm5 18.pngThe same camera movement (track up) is used again but on a mid shot of the whole band this time.

m5 19.pngm5 20.pngWe are shown another close up of the pianist but this time a second close up is shown of his hands touching the keys on the keyboard, its a simplistic shot but shows more creativity in the video.

m5 21.pngm5 22.pngm5 23.pngm5 25.pngm5 24.pngFrom these 5 shots, we can see the use of recycling from parts which indicates the use of about 5 different takes of the song which were edited and cut to form one creative video. Overall from the first 20 seconds we can see the level of thought that went into this videos planning and creation
