BAROQUE POP: A pop and rock music sub genre which originated as a fusion of pop and rock with classical music.
I firstly looked into Clean Bandit who when researched were recognised as 'Baroque Pop.'
The instrumental includes a violin, slow bass, piano and vocals, typically matching the genre by using classical instruments alongside having a pop upbeat track.
The video develops surrealism throughout as the 'Clean Bandit' logo reference is influenced more so as the song continues.
The video itself is conceptual as there is no specific link between the lyrics and the visuals.
Throughout the video there is a persistent pattern of slow panning across each shot to somewhat illustrate a story being unfolded.
The initial title of the music video is shown over the visuals which I should use in my video.
There is a use of scene change in one section which I could use in my video as it is increasingly effective.
Landscape shots to signify the location and time of day it is based in, shows clear distribution of main artist across multiple scenes.
Shots of the public interacting with the camera are also shown this may give a more comedic aspect adding to the surrealism of the video.
The final part of surrealism when removing the mask, reveals the comedic aspects of the video summarising the somewhat music track 'haunting' the main actress in the video being legitimate.
I then proceeded to look at Florence and the Machine's, Spectrum
She shows the following conventions which can then be related to Clean Bandit's Rather Be video.
The following conventions I will also have to include in my music video:
- Artist lip sings to song following narrative
- Abstract mise-en-scene and location
- Lip syncing stays intact despite change of location swapping from scene to scene
- Surrealism
- Close ups showing emotion
- Audience interprets ending
- Lyrics are shown literally
