Depending on the style of music video, this will depend on the type of camera shots it will have:
A close up will be used on the singers face to be focused on the mouth which moves to the lyrics of the song or it will be used to show the emotion on the face of the character. A close will be used on a prop which has something to do with the story.
A crane shot is used in rock videos or live concert videos, it is useful because it high in the air and will capture all the everything with which is happening. This will show the crowd have the time of there lives will listening and watching the band/artist perform.
The editing of music video depends on the type of genre it is because if the song is fast paced rock song the editing will be lots of quick jumps cuts of the band, instruments or props.
Editing the music video is time consuming because of lip syncing the video to the song and the lyrics so it looks like they are actually singing and in time with the music. CGI is also used in some music videos such as foo fighters learn to fly where one character is flying along side the aeroplane while people are hallucinating. Diegetic sound is also used in music videos but mostly in narrative based like the sound of car driving past or the environment which there are in, but it is also used in performance based where at the end of the bands live performance the crowds cheers will be amplified to show how good the band is.
This song by korn is a mixed between perforamce and narrative based videos because it made like its a documentary and its cut back and forth to them playing and a documentary. Like in this one there is diegetic sound of the cars driving past. The documentary shows the band recking hotel rooms and partying all night, this is what you think you they are doing on tour.
The Mise-en-scene is everything on the stage such as the props, costume and the location. The props depend on what type of video it is, if it was an performance based video the props would be the instruments, equipment and the lighting. The bands costume will determain on the type of genre of the band, now for example if the genre of music was metal the band members will all be wearing dark colours, people can look at them and automatically know what the genre is. The location is the setting for the music video and to set the scene.
The Mise-en-scene for different genres are represented and portryed differently in different genres.
In hip hop and rap genre you will see the objectification of women, the fast car and designer clothing. There are generally two locations first one will be a backdrop where the women will dance and the other will be a music studio or somewere simular where they sing. the two locations will swap between the two.
The song by 50 cent is very typical of what you see in this gener because you got the cars, women and the money and that the message which they are trying to give out, that this is what they have.
In rock music is a performace based video so the location will be them playing live to an audience or them playing in a room. There musical intruments will layed out and there will be clothed in there own merchendise or dark clothing. They will show the crowd alot to show that they are having a great time and implying that you could be have a good time if you see them live.
know this song by guns and rose is a performace based which is used to capture audience to like there music and you will have a great time if you go yourself, its got alot of shots of the crowd have fun and singing along, shows how big the band is by the empty areana in black and white in the morning and then the areana full in colour.
