Conventions of
mainstream pop
videos.Dj Fresh Vs Diplo – Earthquake
Titles link with video genre and
audience.
The Title ‘Earthquake’ is linked with the genre of the video because the
Video is linked with the film ‘Kick ass 2’ so its all abut super hero's and
Comic books. So the fact they have used a comic book style font.
CGI & Editing
The CGI and editing is very good in this music video. There is a 3D moving ball
And a earthquake what moves a number of taxi’s. I think the budget of this video
Was very high because of the use of camera angles and CGI in this video. It
Is like a mini film. This links in with the target audience and genre very well.
The transitions of this video are very clean and straight cuts. This makes it look
Much more professional and adds to the affect.
Mise en scene All characters in this video are all wear ‘high top’ trainers. These match in the genre
Of this video because these types of shoes are mainstream. The clothes they are wearing
Are matched with the film kick ass 2.
In the background there are abandoned parked cars and papers and newspapers on the
floor.
This says that the city has evacuated and only this team of superhero's are left to save the
day.
