These are the 4 music VDOs that I've chosen to explore and understanding the genre, representaton, narrative, audience and how the vdo communicates a meaning.
1. Cry by Godly and Cream : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxtPRF6NG7I
The song deals with the issues within each person and saying about how sad it feels when someone did something bad to them. With the way the lyric composed, it doesn't speak about one perticular problem but an overall action of people to one another that make people of every ages, gender, nationality 'Cry'.
Genre: Pop rock music style by the use of an electric guitar and a steady rhythm with a loud drum and bass. A screaming vocal on the words 'cry' also identify the genre as a rock music.
Representation: Using a close up shot throughout to let the audience see the expression of the people in the MV. Using dissolve from one person's face to another to present every gender, ages, and nationalities.
Narrative: Facial expression of every people goes with the lyric and expressed its meanning eg. one man crying at the beginning of the vdo, some expression their facial expression in saddness and dissapointment.
Audience : Around the age of 19 - 35 of both gender.
2. Hurt by Johnny Cash : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o22eIJDtKho
Genre: Classic-Acustic style. Only use an acustic guitar along with piano through out the MV.
Representation: Cross cutting and an insert of either Johnny Cash in the past or a Vdo that contrast with the lyric. Close up shot and extreme close up also often use to see his facial expression and to emphisis the particular phrase of the lyric that has been compare eg. Extreme close up of a dead fish on the table with the words 'Broken thoughs I can not repair.'
Narrative: The used of the MV work two ways for the lyric : as a story line when pictures and an old VDO of Johnny Cash in the past insert between the original MV(a present time); and as a comparison and contrast with the lyrics eg. I will let you down, I will make you hurt contrested with the MV that shows a picture of Jesus carrying the cross and get hammered by a nail as to say that he will make others hurt and dissapointed but opposite to Jesus as he took everything upon Himself instead of us, I think? A visual comparison with a phrase when he sang "You could have it all, my empire of dirt" and the MV shows all of his trophies and awards that he had from the past. The MV where he sit on the table full of good foods, nice chair, expensive looking glasses makes us audience see that even if it seems nice and wealthy but actualy he feel like ''I wear this crown of thorns Upon my liar's chair' which are contrast to what people see.
Audience: target audience might be around the age of 19 - 65/ both gender.
