Name: James Picken Music Video: Bruno Mars- Lazy Song

Camera Shots – What shots are used and why?

There is just a constant wide shot used.

Mise-en-scene (What colours, sets and props are used? Why?) The place is a colourful and vibrant place to show it’s a chilled/fun song and a guitar is used which he doesn’t actually play to show you can have fun with anything without having to do much as the song title shows.

Music Video style – What style is used and why? A concept based and performance based is used during the song to show it’s a fun song and that when you’re watching the video you can have fun whilst being lazy and that everyone deserves a lazy day once in a while.

Narrative – What is the story of the music video, characters, settings, conflicts, resolutions? The setting of the video is a house and the characters are Bruno Mars performing and 5 people with monkey masks dancing and the story is just to be lazy and have fun.

Target Audience – Who is the music video for? The target audience is teens or older who just feel like relaxing and having fun.

Editing – Describe the different editing choices made? There is no cutting or editing in this video at point apart from when he’s setting up the camera to start playing. This could have been used to relate to the song because it implies about being lazy and with no editing during it shows that little work has been made on the video when it comes to editing.
