A range of music Vidoes I enjoy

 

The music director for this video is Paul Hunter. The reason I thoroughly enjoy this video is because it has such a smooth style, and works really well with the beat of the track. I like how the camera cuts between people’s faces showing a medium close-up panning in to close-ups, highlighting the tension that is going on in the room and between different characters; this sets a scene for the story and makes the audience intrigued.  I enjoy how Paul, almost covers Michaels face in every close-up, by only showing one side of his face, which is almost shadowed under his hat, it gives Michael a fierce edge which fits perfectly into the story and the theme. My favourite part of this video is where Michaels track cuts out and the sound becomes non diegetic, and he is joined by several men on a stage that are dressed the same as him, you hear them enter by the sound of their feet dropping to the floor. Paul’s idea for this scene was amazing as it really intrigued the audience. The mise-en-scene of all the dancers on the stage in the same position looks fantastic and has a really good effect, all you can hear is the sound of the characters breathing, against a slight background music, they work really well together, giving the right effect for the video.
