S Club 7- S Club Party Album Cover

Here, I created two different possible covers for the CD Album of S Club Party.

S Club 7- S Club Party Lyrics

Dancing and singing

S Club
Gettin' down tonight, a come on, yeah
Gettin' down tonight, uh huh, everybody
Get down tonight, yeah

Different people holding placards in a line or alternating shots on lyrics “aint no party like an s club party”.

S Club
(There ain't no party like an S Club party)
We're gonna show you how
(Everybody get down tonight)
(Yeah)
S Club
(S Club)
(There ain't no party like an S Club party)
We're gonna take you high
(Shake your body from side to side)

Harry acts action that could relate to these lyrics out

Finally Friday night
Feelin' kinda good, lookin' alright
Gotta get movin', can't be late
Gotta get groovin', just can't wait
(Ho!)

Get the feeling
(Get the feeling)
Push the ceiling
(Push the ceiling)
Player a hater                    You could have something that shows a rivalry here
(Player a hater)
Get ready everybody 'cause here we go!

Different people holding placards in a line or alternating shots on lyrics “aint no party like an s club party”.

S Club
(There ain't no party like an S Club party)
We're gonna show you how
(Everybody get down tonight)
S Club
(There ain't no party like an S Club party)
We're gonna take you high
(Shake your body from side to side)

Low shot of everyone around camera dancing

(Oo-oh, oo-oh!)
Throw your hands in the air
(Oo-oh, oo-oh!)
Like you just don't care
(Oo-oh, oo-oh!)
There's a party over here
(Oo-oh, oo-oh!)
There's a party over there

 

Linkin Park- Burn it Down Presentation

The Mise-en-scene of this promo is rather dark, however, this is not to say there is bad lighting. The Smoke in this shot actually reflects the lighting, brightening the mise-en-scene as well as revealing the band members more. This then also links in with the idea of mise-en-scene being futuristic and semi resembling a alien space ship. This then links directly to the genre of music, which is electro rock/ alternative rock, this reinforces the electro sounds of the song.

There are many elements of cinematography within this promo. One of the major elements is camera movement. This is present all the way through this promo but is also cut with many different types of shot such as long shots, mid shots and close ups. These are used through all of the promo in different ways, for example, the main singing parts are shown in mid and long shots, showing the singer performing with the band as well as showing physical movement. Close us are predominantly used during the rapping parts of the promo as it shows mouth movement and seems to speed it up. Extreme longshots are used less, but are used to show the band performing together.

The editing is very predominantly based on post production effects than shot to shot editing. This is evident mostly in the second half of the promo as we get heavy visual fire and electric effects on the band members, this also relates back to song lyrics of “burn it down” as it talks about burning things to the ground, thus use of fire, but also the electric effects are once again showing of the genre as the electric effects signify the electro rock genre. The editing is also medium and fast paced throughout, getting faster as the promo goes on, also getting faster as the post production effects amplify. However, there are very few shot to shot editing differences from the standard straight cut. However, this amplifies the pace of the promo as well non distoriting the already distorted image, so this could also be seen as a counter to heavy visuals

There is no narrative to this promo, however it does serve as a performance advertiser for the band. This could also be seen as a catalogue of reference as it shows every single one of the members of the band at different parts throughtout the promo, so we get to see what they look like and what instruments each of them play.

Illustration, Amplification and Disjuntion

Illustration-Copying something and adapting it slightly

 

Amplification- Copying something and amplifying it to make it different

 

Disjunction- Doing whatever you want

 

 

Amplification/Illustration

 

One music promo that uses amplification is Alesana - The Thespian (post-hardcore/metal) . This is because the song is based on a chapter from a book, but they amplified this and turned it into a song. This means they also changed it, for example, they changed some of the mise-en-scene of the story from a town into a house. This means they are not directly copying it, and amplifying the story in the book. However, you cold argue that this is in fact illustration as it is copying another media text. This means it could be either Illustration or Amplification

Disjuntion

One video that uses disjunction is Blessthefall- ThePromised Ones (metalcore/screamo) . This is completely doing whatever they want to, such as the definition of disjunction. They have not copied anyone (used illustration) or amplified anyone’s work. This is seen all throughout the video as they have not copied any references that are noticeable or copied anyone directly. Mise-en-scene is also very unique as well as everything else in this promo, however, you could say the camera shots and angles have been copied, but this is because the long shots and mid shots used are conventional of music promos.
