A music video from the genre of music I have chosen

Here is an example of the style of music video from the genre of music I have chosen:-

This music video is is now over 6 years old, but is still a good example of a simple but effective music video. The lyrics are created in a visual form, so they tell the story of what is being sung. The video is filmed in black and white, which is already showing it is different to mainstream videos, as most are presented in colour. The use of black and white gives a music video a "timeless" feel to it, like it is a classic. The video mainly features shots of the band playing their various instruments on a street and the girl inside the apartment, Henrietta, which is also the title of the song. The use of switching between these two shots may seem dull, but it creates a good storyline for the audience to become engaged in. Also, The Fratellis make their video a performance, by pulling various facial expressions and directly addressing the audience, as shown in this photo of Mince Fratelli playing the drums during the video.

A music video which is heavily out of my comfort zone is the one featured here:-

This music video is very dramatic, and to me, very, very strange! It is definitely is a perfomance video, with the singer talking directly to the audience through the camera lens. It features a young disabled boy, which is unconventional, and the main colours used are black and white, but the video is filmed in colour. The setting appears to be a young girls bedroom, with a bed and a side table, but the walls are covered in graffiti, unlike a stereotypical girls bedroom. This writing on the wall could be the thoughts that have spilled out of the girls head, and like her head, they are all over the place. The costume of the girl is styled on a typical school girl, but her uniform has been "tarted up" and is more revealing.  The main rapper is shirtless with a bandana on, and this could signify that he does not need to dress to conform to society so wears as little or as much as he wants to wear. The editing is mainly jump cuts, which are quick and easy but effective, and there is a lot of rapping into the camera, and the type of lens used is a fisheye which the rappers can address the audience through because it makes things look bigger.
