Alfie Arcuri - If They Only Knew Analysis

Image
The music video for "If They Only Knew" by Alfie Arcuri is themed around LGBT awareness and an individual discovering their sexuality and identity. The theme of friendship is also prevelent throughout the video and that is something we wish to incorperate in our music video. For these reasons, this music video inspires me and my group, so i'm going to analyse it to gain ideas. Mise-en-scene Throughout the video, the dark and alternative clothing that the characters wear creates the aesthetic that we want for our video, in order to appeal to our target audience of young people.

Technical Codes and Symbolic Conventions in Music Videos

Analysis of "Sorry"

Image
In this post I analyse the existing music video for our chosen song, "Sorry," by Nothing But Thieves The music video begins with the song name and artist titles in orange typography against a gravel background, accompnied with diegetic sound of the outdoors. As actual shots begin, still before the actual track has started, they are broken up by static noise and images of fire, and the actual shots feature people in distress and chaos, similar to news features when there is emergancy or attacks. When the track starts playing, we see a two-way over the shoulder shot of a couple from the backseat of a car; they are arguing. Continuing to break up these narrative shots of the couple arguing, is blurred footage of conflict chaos and panic, some of which looks as though it is recorded on a home camera and some appearing to be news footage. We then see the artist walking towards the camera, and the camera back tracks to keep an equal distance to the artist; he is lip syncing to th...
