Mr Hudson- Supernova-
I chose to analyse this music video for the special effects in which they use. The special effects used help to add influence of the songs meaning with the dramatic camera shots helping to control the mood of the audience and sympathize with the main singer/character. The combined mise-en-scene with the camera shots shows what sort of song it is as well as what the music is about. The effects on the Chorus add to the effect of the song with a Supernova being bright and the lights all over him help to show people that it’s the Chorus and that this is a point of interest. The motion blur of the picture is a really powerful effect and feels like there is more then one singer which will make the audience feel like a variety of people are singing.
Kayne West- POWER -
This is one of my favourite music videos due to the original representation with the music video being one of the most unique videos seen, it has an amazing visual representation with the people around the main singer being related to Greek gods as well as the singer, this is fitting with the song all about Power, the connotations of a lot of the objects being golden could be significant when money is Power which, as well as clouds and water in the background, this could be talking about the Power of nature and possible God, all of these visual representations combined allow the audience to chose their own belief about the video, because of this it allows the audience to become more involved in it, as well as a lot going on which makes the audience want to watch it several times in order to find out everything about it.

This is one of the more abstract music video's released in 2004 with most music video's being quite basic the overall video does not seem to really fit the story with the entire video being shot in black and white and not put into chronological order. However with the numbered signs you can watch the video by finding the different signs to make sense of the video more, this was a really smart method in order to get the audience more involved in the song and into the story of what was going on, like an interactive movie as it were. There are no over the tops effects in the music video which makes the video and story more powerful, the video doesn't seem to completely match the lyrics however it still gives the message as the lyrics and adds a new level of depth. Overall I think that this has given me some ideas to focus more on the song and the story rather than going over the top with effects.
