Research: Quick analysis of another music video

Mark Rosnon: The bike song





Things I noticed:
  • There are a few jump cuts
  • There is slow motion at the beginning, when the girls ride past on their bikes and when the boys stare.
  • The 'male gaze' happens within the video itself as well
  • There are obvious edits with the bikes and the titles
  • The camera is moving in time with the music
  • The artist breaks the 'fourth wall' and makes direct eye contact with the camera
  • There are repeated shots
  • There are many different camera shots such as close ups, wide shots, long shots and mid shots
  • There is use of a base track.
