Analysis of music video: Talain Rayne - Twinkle lightly


Genre: Indie pop
Style music: Melodic, emotional, raw

I felt like I would really benefit from analysing this music video as it is a very professional looking video from a "low famous" artists - the video is simplistic much like the fan video for Lemobright by the same artist (see post below).

Analysis:
This video is given it's meaning and strong message through body language, facial expressions, manipulation of lighting, camera shots and careful artistic editing. This then means that if I chose to do my music video for this song or a songs fitting similar conventions to this one, I will have an idea of how to make a simple video look very artistic while flowing well with the song.
Something that I like about this video is the similarity between the official video by this artists for "twinkle lightly" and the fan video for Lemonbright (sang by the same artist) is so similar regarding shots, lighting and setting - the only differences are the lighting effects, colour filter, hues and the lack of large body movement and dancing in this video. I think that even though there is no dancing in this video, it works just as well as the fan video for Lemonbright because it is made clear from his body movements and stableness that he is sad down, which suggests that the emotion in the song is also within him, and that he needs to sit, be still, and enjoy the moment with the song.
This is another thing I can keep in mind when I come to make my won video - I don't have to make the video overly complicated if I am smart with it, I can take very simple ideas such as making the 'character' in the video look sat down in order to represent their emotion, of have the 'character' making small emotional hand gestures that fit well with the tempo in the song to get the message and emotion across to the viewer.
