MUSIC VIDEO ANALASISTHE FRAY HOW TO SAVE A LIFE

BY TOM BOND

This music video starts with words on the screen the words are the name of the song. They go across the screen and they look a bit like the lines on a heart monitor in a hospital. This has clear links with the name of the song ‘How To Save a Life’.

At this part of the song the word one comes on to the screen at the same time as the singer says the word one in the song. This word also comes across the screen in the same way as the name of the song did.

This is a shot of the word listen written on a window, at this moment in the song the singer is singing about sitting down and talking; this has clear links between lyrics and visuals.

This is another shot that has clear links between lyrics and visuals because the singer is singing about staring politely back at you and there is a shot of people staring.

This a long shot of the whole band taken at eye level, I think they have shot this at eye level because when you watch it it makes you feel like you are there with them. Shots of the whole band performing like this are very common with this genre of music.

This is another shot which has clear links between the lyrics and visuals, the singer is singing about having a window on your right and the shot is of a girl with a window to her right.

This is another shot of the band performing the song. These type of shots will be common in this type of music video because of the genre.

THESE ARE A FEW MORE SHOTS OF THE BAND PERFORMING

This is a shot of a girl crying and she looks like she is screaming something and the word mom is next to her this makes you think that maybe her mom has died because the song is called how to save a life.
