Evaluation
We think that the Foo Fighters video was the best out of the lot and deserved to win in the end. We thought that the lyrics and the name of the song linked well with the actual visuals of the video. A good example was when he got out of his car to walk everywhere linking with the name of the song, Walk. There was a link with genre characteristics when we saw the entire band playing the instruments, which is what you tend to see in a lot of films based around rock films. The video relates to all of the micro elements, mainly mis-en-scene because it conforms to the codes and conventions of ‘rock’ music videos, it uses the lighting and costume to show the genre throughout by having the band members in dark clothing, and using props like guitars, drum kits and amplifiers to emphasise the conventions of a rock video. Also during the video the lead singer is the main character of the narrative and meets each member of the band throughout the video narrative. Sound is one of the most important elements when it comes to the music video, some rock music videos use fast paced editing and some use slow, however we thought that the overall pace was in the middle, and both fast and slow paced editing was used, but it was all synchronised together to make it look more realistic. The camera shots used were low angle on the main character to signify his importance of the band, being the lead singer. There were a lot of mid shots and long shots of him when he meets the other band members in the different locations. The camera also pans around the band when they are performing which is another common convention in every rock video or film.
