When listening to a song we can predict what is going to happen within the music video depending on the pace and lyrics.
In lesson, when analysing music videos we first listened to this song by Radiohead. We then predicted what the video may be like by just listening to the music. We did this by listening to the lyrics, pace and who was singing. We predicted the narrative/performance, pace of cuts, the setting, who was singing and any other ways the video is presented.
As a class we predicted it would be a slow pace video with a depressing narrative. The colour would be dark and possibly in black and white. We thought it was a band and scruffy looking group singing. We couldn't understand the lyrics by listening the once so we thought the video may be strange and the middle of nowhere.
Once we watched the music video for the first time we realised we were very close when we predicted. The slow pace was illustrated by a slow movement video with slow motion and was in black and white giving it a strange and creepy theme. The video has a narrative rather than a performance and has a random story which is unclear. The events are muddled and do not link which we predicted without looking.
This activity showed that certain genres and song paces have a particular story or performance behind them. This shows that this video follows the typical outline of a music video for this genre of indie rock.
