Making Media: Textual Analysis of a Dance Music Video

Tiësto - Red Lights - YouTube

Editing: Cuts and Jump cuts in time with music.
Camera:  Hand held camera for a first person perspective so audience feels within the action. Tracking shot used to follow characters and narrative.
Sound: The music starts off with a guitar base beat. The tempo builds up to a climax and the visual perspective changes to an upbeat environment as when the climax was reached the characters were in a club.
Mise en scene: The narrative starts of at a diner where the characters are at work and then proceeds to follow them as they get on a motorbike and travel. It cuts to them at a car wash where some camera angles are intended for the male gaze. It ends up in a club in Las Vegas with strobe lighting and people dancing along to the music.

Editing: Cuts to the music beat are made along with jump cuts to emphasise the climax in the music to create a dance feel.
Camera: Tracking shots have been used to follow the two main characters on their adventure in the narrative as well as low angle shots.
Sound: The music starts off with a piano and vocals by a male singer. A base beat is introduced with a climax to the chorus. The order starts off with background piano and then a vocal on top which builds up to a climactic base. The music also has a repetitvive beat and vocal in a loop.
Mise en scene: The scene takes place in a foreign country in the summer as it is a hot climate with the main characters driving on a road next to the see which then cuts to the beach where the two main characters go in the sea and dance. Other background characters dance along to the beat of the music as the main characters go by.
