Prep work for Monday

Drake Hotline Bling

• ·         Isolated, because we can see he is inside a box at times, this suggests lack of freedom.
• ·         We can see women in the music video, but I wouldn’t say they are being sexualized.
• ·         Dance of joy
• ·         Expressing himself through the instrumentals.
• ·         Ridged lifestyle, because we can see him sitting on stairs therefore this can suggest his life Is rough.
• ·         The lyrics relate to everyday life, (relationship wise), this could suggest he has had some personal experience of going through what he’s talking about.
• ·         The location is just in a studio, nothing really expensive.
• ·         Shows a little bit of his wealth, a his coat cost many hundreds of dollars.
• ·         Weird, because he is expressing his emotional thoughts through dancing.

Christ Brown – Don’t Judge me

• ·         Locations, this is the first thing I noticed, various locations. This most probably cost a lot of money especially being in the mist of the army.
• ·         The special effects which were used, to make it look futuristic at times, this again would have cost a lot of money
• ·         Crazy, because he expresses himself through violent actions
• ·         Seems like a short film which has been modified into a music video
• ·         The pace of the music is rather mid tempo
• ·         There is a good use of shots, but the most popular shot in this music video was wide shots, always showing the artist and the surroundings.
• ·         We see him holding on to the woman in the end of the video this shows that he is a caring and loving person, and most probably always on the lookout for the ones he loves

Metallica – Hardwired

• ·         First thing we noticed is the loudness of the instrumentals
• ·         Rock music is more or less violent usually filled up violent instrumentals which are sometimes used to portray a sign on anger.
• ·         When we listen to the lyrics of what he’s saying ‘’self destruct’’ then mayhem is released onto the base
• ·         We can say this band is violent, because we can see close ups of their facial expressions as their hitting the drums and playing the guitar
• ·         Cutting to the beat, the editing is really fast
