The music video I have chosen to research is Funhouse by Pink. The instrumentation of guitar riffs and drum rock beat suggests its a pop rock video. The costuming, tattoos and props like the motorcycle suggest this also.
Shots
The video also constantly dolly's. This creates a mode of address for audiences as it wants you to think that she is taking us back to her old life.
Relationship between lyrics and the video
All of the shots relate to lyrics of the shot. Some examples are "spinning all around" and "dancing all around" When these lyrics are sung, she dances and spins around.
Another lyric that is significant is "It used to be a fun house, but now its full of evil clowns. Again referring to bad memories and the idea of a children's funhouse where clowns and mirrors exist. There is also ambient lighting used. The dark grey smoke shows the evil.
There is also a relationship between the music and visuals. As the lyrics are quicker the ALS is increased. However, when the song goes into a sort of blues feel the ALS is decreased.
Pink tends to use voyeuristic costumes in all of her videos. She wears them to get a message across.
The video is part of two types of music video. It is a performance based video as thee is a lot of singing into camera and an on stage shot.
In this video pink can be seen in center frame for the majority of the video however she can be seen in the left and right of center frames occasionally entering stage left when she appears vulnerable due to lyrics.
How this has influenced my creativity and planning
- learn't how to relate lyrics and visuals
- received ideas of different shots I can use in my video
A good post Kenza however, much more analysis is needed here. Consider colours, poses, framing angles and please add representation theory. There is some obvious use of CGI in the last shot as well, why is that? What is the narrative or concept of the video? Please explain in more detail.
