This is again a different genre of pop but also is different idea of what a music video should be like and this can give me lots of ideas for my product. This type of pop is seen as almost pop rock and I am going to investigate this type of pop as it different from the others I have researched.
How is the artist represented?
He is represented as this person that's very down to earth as it doesn't show him to be glamorous or wearing designer clothing's and shown to be an average person as he blends in with people waiting a the sub way and also shows him playing his piano to show he cares about this music and means a lot to him as the artist shows that the music is what really counts not what the video is like. He shown to be very approachable there is nothing to scare people off which links with his down to earth image he is prompting as it can show his audience that any one can really play instruments or be in the music business you don't have to be a celebrity and the celebrity image is not at all shown in the music video to show its more about the music than the money or glamour of a celebrity life style it shows him as a average working class person not a high class society man.
What relationship exits between the images and the lyrics?
The images and lyrics link together all the way through but the video uses the lyrics to create a story about two people having a bad day which links with the title of the song but the images used don't link to that particular at the exact time it is sung but is later on shown, this shows that the image and the lyrics are connected as they tell a story from the lyrics which shows that the images are from the lyrics as its a story the lyrics are trying to tell and is shown very well in this video and that lyrics are some how represented all the way through the video as the end is says you had a bad day and shows the image of a happy ending for the two people and that the whole video is a reference to having a bad day with the two people having trouble at work etc. However the images of both people are linked together as with a shot of art from both people is shown and shows that the images themselves are linked together because of the story the lyrics are telling to the audience and this makes the video very unique.
What relationship exists between the music and the image?
The music and images link together as the music starts of quiet at the start but then we see the clocks change and the music starts which shows that start of the day but also shows the start of the music in the video and it builds up. Its a very slow beat which makes the music quiet sad at first as the the two characters are shown to lead boring lives at the start when they get ready and it shows that this happens everyday all the time which is shown in the beat of the music. Also the expressions on the characters faces are happy but not sad but in between which shows them just to be boring which starts of the story. The slow music near the end of the story is sad, but its ironic because the two character meet and the characters actually smile towards to the end to show the message of the story of getting through bad days there will be good days as well, and the scene between the two characters drawing is shown to be fun and you can sort of feel happy for them as they actually become happy at the end, even though the music doesn't change its beat but there is something happy happening.
Inter textual references
In the video there isn't any real inter textual references to anything else its just about the story that develops between the characters, the only reference is when we see the artist on the piano and singing that its a reference towards him and his song and to show that it is his type of video and music and all links back to the artist as he is shown through, also that the artist always wheres a bobble hat which links to him and his CD covers as well which shows more of a link to the single/album and the artist himself rather than location or some famous figure.
Key features:
- The video uses the lyrics to tell a story- story like video
- always shows the artist singing or playing the piano also that the artist is sometimes at the same location the as the two characters.
- All the way through, through props and locations all link to the story and the two characters
This gives me some real ideas for my own video as this video is very different fro others as its story like, and shows characters and that the lyrics are trying to show a message through the music and lyrics.
