Boybands

Madness• Madness are from Camden Town in London• They formed in 1976• Madness’s first notable musical award came in 1983

when Chris Foreman and Cathal Smyth won an Ivor Novello Award for best song for the international hit “Our House”

• They then won another Ivor Novello Award 17 years later for an “Outstanding Song Collection”

Camera angles/ shots• They include the band members in a specific shot, for example

when Lee is playing the saxophone they have a shot of him playing the saxophone and when Chas singing is they then include him in the shot

• Chas was not a former member of the band at the time but he sang the lead vocals even though Graham was in the music video and holding a microphone Chas was the main singer in this.

• They also have wide shots of the band throughout the music video, this then starts to create a star image for the band by that they have fun together and enjoy what they are doing

• There is mainly close-up shots in the music video, this shows that they are showing more detail in what they are wanting to show in the music video, for example when Chas is speaking at the beginning they are just focusing on him and what he is saying. This does link in with Andrew Goodwin's theory by that using camera angles and shots are holding the music video together this because if there wasn’t any camera angles or shots there wouldn’t be anything on the music video.

Editing • They use Goodwin's “Cut to the Beat”

well, by that when the music slightly chances they change the shot. For example when the shot is on Chas and he says “One Step Beyond” it then changes to the whole of the band on the stage dancing around.

• Madness being a ska genre, have the instruments representing their genre and in this music video showing all the instruments they play.

Lyrics and visuals• Madness’s music video “One Step

Beyond” is a very simple song with minimal words, but a lot different actions happening within the music video

• One step beyond is like a meaning of a giant step that is beyond the limitation that you can dream of

Location and setting• The song is meant to be a happy,

get up and dance song, this is showing this by that they have the band on a stand dancing around enjoying themselves. They also had shots outside with blue sky, showing positivity

• Most of Madness’s music video is them singing live in one of their performances, in Hope and Anchor in Islington.

Mise-En-Scene• All the Madness band members and Chas are wearing something different, starting with Chas we see him wearing a suit but without a tie, but looking smart, and glasses, we see Graham wearing, a blazer a T-Shirt, and jeans, Chris is wearing a checked shirt and jeans, mike is wearing a hat, glasses, a black coat, and red jeans, lee is wearing a red hat, glasses, a black jacket, and black trousers, mark is wearing a stripy shirt, and black trousers, however you can not really see what Daniel is wearing throughout the music video because he is behind the drums and there isn’t any shots of just him in it and you have Graham who is standing in front of him when there is a shot of him in it. Looking at all of the band members clothing we see that it shows that they are still an individual even when in a band and that they are happy wearing not the same. The props in the music video are of the band members and their instruments, which is very simple.

The Rolling Stones• The Rolling Stones are from London• They formed in 1962• The Rolling Stones celebrated their 50th anniversary in

the summer of 2012 by releasing a large hardback book called 50

• The Rolling Stones have managed to get 20 awards• They got a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album in 1995 ,

alongside a Grammy Award for Best Music Video in 1995

Camera angles/ shots • The beginning of the music video

starts off with a wide shot then goes in to a close up shot and it is just focusing on Mick Jagger and what he is doing, as he is singing

• Then a few seconds after just focusing on Mick Jagger he then comes between Charlie and Keith, showing two of the other band members and what they are doing in the video.

Editing • They use Goodwin's theory of

“Cut to the Beat” well, by that when Mick Jagger says “you make a grown man cry” for the second time they then go onto a new shot.

• The rolling stones are rock, blues, and pop band and in this music video they include a bass guitar, electric guitar, and drums, which is typical rock instruments which they include in their music video.

Lyrics and visuals• There isn’t a clear visual between

lyrics and the music video by that there isn’t a narrative in the music video showing what its about.

• Rock music videos are mainly live performances, however it’s not filmed at a live performance but its closely like a live performance by that it is only them featured in the music video and they are using their instruments, throughout the music video.

Location and setting• The setting in “Start Me

Up” is very simple they are just in an empty space with them all there and enjoying themselves singing away, and playing their instruments

Mise-En-Scene• The music video starts off with Mick Jagger on his own

singing, he is wearing a gymnastic outfit at the beginning he is doing some form of gymnastic moves

• In the whole of the music video it features the whole band, this represents that The Rolling stones like to make an appearance in their music video

• They all have quite simple outfits, but different from one another, by that Mick Jagger is wearing a gymnastic outfit, one of the guitar players is wearing a vest and jeans, the other one is wearing a jacket a shirt and jeans, and the drummer is also wearing a suit, and the last guitar player is wearing a pale blue suit. All the band members have different outfits on even the ones who are wearing a suit to represent that they are different but a team

One Direction • One Direction are an Irish British Boyband• They Formed at The X-Factor in 2010• They have achieved five Brit Awards, four

MTV Video Music Awards, eleven MTV Europe Music Awards, and nineteen Teen Choice Awards

• 4 UK Number 1’s

Camera angles/ shots• The very first shot we see in this music

video is a white sheet of paper put into water that is then getting developed into a picture, so that we only get a chance to see what the picture is because there is nothing else in the shot.

• Another in this music video is we see a mid shot of Harry surrounded by photos and putting some up, but very shortly chances a shot to Niall, which is a mid shot of him as well.

• There is a close up shot with Liam singing to the camera and focusing in front of him as though he is singing to you.

Editing • The band members are all do something with the

pictures at the beginning of the song, representing that they got memories amongst these pictures and want them in pictures

• The music video is mostly focused on pictures that they have put out and showing all different pictures showing what they have enjoyed and loved as children, and even images of now what they look like

• They have plenty of pictures all around the room, representing that they have a good life

• The audience get to know what the music video is like by the beginning shots, by that they get to see one direction with different pictures around the room, and that it is what their song title say “The Story Of My Life”

Lyrics and visuals• On one of the lines that they sing is “she

told me in the morning, she don’t feel the same about us in our bones” meaning that anything can change overnight, and they have this experience

• This song is a narrative, they have stuck to what the song lyrics say about “Story Of My Life” by that they are showing exactly what their life is like through time and that it is their story of their life

Location and setting• The location for their music video

is in a room where they can store enough pictures, and see all there happy memories that they have had.

• We all see Zayn in a shot looking all the different pictures that surround him.

Mise-En-Scene• Harry is wearing a black shirt with black

trousers, Liam is dressed really smartly with a white shirt and a small black jacket, Louis wearing a white T-Shirt, a black blazer, and black trousers, with a black trousers, Niall is wearing a grey T-Shirt and black trousers and then Zayn is wearing a long sleeved black shirt black trousers with braises attached. All of them are wearing a something smart in this music video, this is like they are representing themselves and what they are like.
