Research Into Existing Music Videos - Listenbee Save Me

Here is a photo taken of my mind map looking at key convention in the music video: Listenbee save me.

The music video save me by Listenbee began with an establishing shot of the location that the music video took place. In the establishing shot, you therefore see that the place looks like an isolated area and the background noise gives a good explanation of what type of location the music video. It then goes to an close up shot of  boy playing cricket with is friends which is counter-stereotypical of them. It was very interesting to see them playing cricket because cricket isn't a game that was known to be played by people in that location.















0:45 seconds on the music video, an hand held shot was used as the camera follows the boy was trying to hide the chicken he has as a pet from his family as that might bring danger to the chicken. This is used to get the audience engaged in the activity that was going on in the scene which is the boy trying sneak into his own house to prevent being spotted by other people. As the hand held shot, the camera seems like it is trying to replicate the audience eyes as they feels like they are helping the boy hide his pet chicken.

In the lyrics of the song, "and night i drink way too much" was in the lyrics, this was said exactly the same time the older male character in the music video was drinking alcohol, this is a good technique to use in the music video as it show that there is a match between the lyrics and the music video which makes the audience think that the music video does make sense and matches the lyrics to the song.



Deep focus was used in his this shot which looks highly interesting s it started from a close up of the boy looking at what is going on outside to the focus of the camera switching to the scene happening outside of the dog which looks like the predator. this technique was used to get the audience feeling like they are in two different scene at the same time which get the audience more involved in the music video.

This is a long shot of the boy trying to catch his frightened chicken and this shot shows that the chicken is very vulnerable and the boy might looks like a treat but then it duplicate to it being the kid being the vulnerable one as the chicken is taking him into danger as there so many danger towards the chicken, it then looks like the kids is being dragged into the same danger. this shot makes the audience fear for the kid and the chicken as they are highly vulnerable and the audience will be engaged to try and figure out what will happen next.

The costume used fits the location very well as the kid only has shorts and a vest on which shows that he can't afford to have better clothing as he lived in a poor location, this also represent kids that live in a poor location as the boy in the music video doesn't have any footwear which is a good representation of kids in a poor populated area as they can't afford to wear footwear so they live their lives.

Here is the actual music video and the reason i have chosen this is because
