Ozzy osbourne -let me hear you scream,Mise en scene analysis

The image that this music video portrays is a very classic scenario of a metal video because of the simple aspect of the just the band playing in a certain location with a simple video concept being used,in this case Ozzy Osbourne turning into different kinds of animals.The classic image of metal is portrayed in this video very well as the band members have long hair,tattoos,and black clothes which is the stereotypical image of all people involved in rock.metal music.The clips used in the video of animals with Ozzy's face on it give a certain disturbing aura to the video so that it keeps its metal background to it as most metal videos have a sense of something evil to them as metal/rock music is seen as very antisocial and rebellious.The presence of Ozzy Osbourne himself in the video adds to the metal image of the video as he is the most famous/iconic person in metal and rock music as he started it.

Machine Head-Imperium locations analysis

The video starts off in what seems like a fast very dim dark oen space with the band playing with no sorty at all in the video.This location is used to portray the image of metal music very dark and evil whichh is aided by the some use of a film affect and some random random but effective images behind the singer.A break in the heavy guitar playing and vocals is accompined by a locatio change into a empty white room while the apprpriate tone of music is being played alongside,As soon as the music picks up again into the normal heavy guitar and vocals the previous location is used again.A third location is then used which is a forest scene with a kind of ambient light in the surrounding area to give the affect of a very cold enviroment but very well suited for the band playing in it.A fourth location is then used which is a bare room with a very strong red light shining on the band to show evil and a very metal orientated scene.The video then goes into a montage of all the combined locations into the last moments of the song combining each scene with one word then putting them all together to make up the last few lyrics of the song.I will be going to try and use this technique of putting different clips of different locations all together in my video to come up with a really good affect of multiple locations,effects,and settings in my video.

Metallica-The Unamed Feeling,Sound/Music Analysis

The video starts off with some simple images of the band playing words coming up on the screen describing emotion and feelings as they are souly related to the videoThe music being played is very distincitive and can be immediatly identified as rock/metal music due to the electric guitars playing,the very loud instruments,and the loud emotinaal meaningful lyrics..The video then proceeds to show us a lot of clips of the band playing while cutting to some very strange images of people who seem to be feeling something hence he name of the song (the unnamed feeling).The sound and music of the video in itself seems to be telling the story of what is going on in the video as it is a very confusing unclear video that dosent seem to have a clear meaning.The music is very hard rock as their are electric guitars,bass guitars,and drums which immeidalty places them in this genre of music as this are the instruments they use to make the very loud distinctive sounds they we associate with rock music.The lyrics and sound itself is very hard rock 90s style with the deep rifting guitasr and loud drum beat which was very popular in the 90s as other bands in this time era sounded simliar such as pantera,and ozzy osbourne.The kind of sound metallica use in this and all their songs is what made them very popular and ultimatly led them to start a generatin of rockers and yound bands which now still look up to them 30 years on from then forming.A lot of bands have taken inspiration from metallica which is what has made them succesful,bullet for my valentine for example are one of the many bands that grew up listening to them which is why their sound/music is very simliar to Metallica.

Bullet For My Valentine complete video analysis

bullet for my valentine waking the demon

This video starts off with a pan from the ceiling down the the floor which establishes the scene in which the video will be set,we then get a medium close p on someone opening a locker which establishes him as being the main character in the video.We then get very brief about 1 second shots of the band playing their instruments,then immediately me know the main story of the video as the kid is getting bullied which then sets the scene for the video of a story.The video then shows us a lot more shots of the ban to establish them a bit more in the video while still showing scenes of the kid being bullied.A new character is then introduced into the video in the form of a girl which gives us the question of who is she why is she here.Its then established in the next scene that she is the bully's girlfriend,we then move back to see the boy standing watching them both kiss which indicates that he obviously is involved somehow with the girl.We then go back to the panning shots of the band and where the kid is getting bullied.The music then changes to a more ambient quieter sound which then indicates a key point in the video whee the kid circles full moon on his calendar which then indicates something major s about to happen.The girl is then shown in a long tracking shot which tells us that she is involved somehow in the next stage of events.We then cut to a close up of the boy standing in the forest standing what looks like waiting to do something to the bully,we then see him throw something at the car which alerts the bully and initiates a chase scene.The chase scene is timed extremely well with the music as when it happens we get to the point in the song when it is very fast paced and perfectly fitted to the what is going on in the story of the video.Bit further on the end of the chase is signaled very well with the signal of a shout from the band and the kid in the video falling over to the floor.The kid then starts to turn into a monster while a very fitting guitar solo is played along to which fits what is going on very well.We get a series of cuts to different parts of the boys body showing his transformation with the use of CGI while still the guitar solo entails for the length of the boys transformation.We then get a long shot of the bully coming from a distance while then cutting back to a very daunting shot of he boy on his knees not knowing what he now looks like transformed.He then stands up with a very dark background and mist in front of him to show fear and not what to expect while the bully looks on at him.We then cut to the kid turning round and showing us what he has transformed into.We then cut to a shot of the bully face which is of absolute horror while he proceeds to move back and run away.The video then cuts to shots of the different parts of the boy covered in blood and the moon which transformed him which suggests to us that he has killed the bully.The video then shows us more panning shots of the band while the one of the music seems t have been lowered which kind of gives it the feel of a sigh of relief as the bully has been killed and the kid is tormented no more.The video then cuts to a shot in the school where their is a poster saying that the bully is missing which then establishes to us more that he killed the bully.We then pan over to the right of the poster to get a long shot of the kid walking down the corridor with some others standing on the left,one of the kids on the left then proceeds to know the kids books out of his hand which then kind of then puts him in the bully category which then indicates to us that the hole situation is going to start again.The video then cuts to the last few shots of the band playing and then cuts to the girlfriend cuddling the boy that knocked the books out of the kids hands which tells us that she likes the school headmen or most popular boys so the situation seems to repeat itself from last time.We then cut to a over the shoulder shot of the boy standing at his locker looking at the girl with the boy which kind if suggests they may have something going on between them.We then cut to a shot of the kid from the front with a close up of his face with has kind of a smirk on it while looking at her entailing he know something.The video then cuts to the girl turning her bad an looking at the boy smiling while her eyes show a glint of red (the same as when the boy turned into the werewolf)which establishes to us that she is also a werewolf and in a way provides food for him by finding these school bully or popular kids becomes their girlfriends and then leads them to the forest when the kid can then kill them or eat them which establishes that the two are intertwined with each their.
