Bon Jovi - You Give Love A Bad Name

You Give Love A Bad Name by Bon Jovi was a hit single and they went on tour straight after writing the album which this song accompanies therefore they may have made this video to show off to their fans that this is what they will be like live, and if the fans like it then they will want to go and see them perform.
The band are performing in an arena style venue, this tells us that the band are big and that they can fill out whole stadiums with their fans. Each band member has long, crazy hair, this is stereotypical with rock bands, they are all wearing tight glamorise costumes which were fashionable in the 80's. Everyone in the band has an instrument of some sort as they are playing in front of an audience, they do not always play at the audience, Sometimes the band are looking at, and perform actions in front of the camera which enables the viewer of the video to place themselves in the crowd and feel more immersed as you feel more close to the band.

The video starts off in slow motion until the verse kicks in, then only in very brief slots does the video slow down again until we reach the end when it slows down once more, this may be to show the atmosphere and background they are performing to and to signal the end of the song. There is also cheering which has been added at the beginning and the end of the video, this is to shows us that the band are playing in front of a real audience, however no chanting or cheering can be heard whilst the song is being played.

Quite a few camera angles are used in the video. Alot of wide shots have been used so that we can see exactly what the band are doing and how they are interacting with each other. A low angle close ups have been used with the band members looking straight into the camera, this lets us see that they are having alot of fun on stage. Some zoom in shots on John Bon Jovi have been used to show the scale of the place they are performing.

Kele - Everything You Wanted

The song Everything You Wanted is performed by solo artist Kele Okereke. He is fairly new artist as he left his band Bloc Party in order to start a solo career for himself. Kele features in the video throughout and this is most likely so that he can make a new image for himself.
The video starts off quite slowly with Kele walking in quite odd way, this lets us know that he may be troubled in some way, this is further shown in his body language, he has his head down alot of the time looking depressed. The video speeds up when the chorus comes in to inject more even more emotion, Kele body language changes slightly too. He begins singing louder and looking up more rather than down. Kele is wearing a stained yellow shirt and a red baseball cap, the red baseball cap is most likely being worn so that he can get his new image across to his fans, the yellow stained shirt tells us that he may not care what people think of him but is most likely to show how he is emotionally unstable therefore hasn't put much thought into his appearance. Kele has no microphone and their are no instruments or other band members performing alongside him which suggests the idea of the video is to keep full focus on Kele emotions than of anything else.

Almost every single shot used in this video is either a medium close up or extreme close up of Kele, this helps us feel and take in the emotions he is going through, this also helps us to notice that he is crying towards the end. A few long shots are used but only briefly to show his body movement rather than his expression.

The editing has been done so that during the chorus lots of quick shots make the mood more intense, this makes Kele seem as though he is not in control of his emotions, and so that in the verse's and at the end there is less intensity, making Kele seem more stable and in control of his emotions.

Kids In Glass Houses - Saturday

The video is very much in a 'beatle's' theme at the beginning when the black and white effect

is used, the theme is carried on with the way in which the band are holding their instruments

when they are performing in the black and white effect as well. After this, colour is introduced

and it adds a sense of glam rock to the video. The story starts off very slow, this is to show that it is very early, during the verse. When the chorus starts the band liven up and the cuts speed up slightly. "I've grown to love my new routine" this is why the same shots have been used everyday in the video, it shows the routine which the front man goes through everyday, the routine being waking up at 9am, putting on whatever clothes he decides to wear that day, then putting on his shoes, walking past the girl and finally meeting up to play with the band.

During the chorus's in the song, the band change costumes in each one, this is in sync with everyday that passes in the video, this may be done to show that the band are getting more immersed in their performance as the video goes on. the lighting also gets brighter as the video progresses, their instruments also change along with their clothing, this is all in sync with the more movement the members in the band begin to do the longer the song goes on. their hairstyles also change with the theme of each day.

Many wide shots and close ups are used throughout the video, the wide shots have been used to show the background of each setting during the story, and the close ups are mainly used on the front man to show emotion and how he is feeling. towards the end a low angle, wide shot is used with the band playing, this makes it seem that we are looking up at them, making them seem big.
