Comparison Mr Miche

The 1975 is an indie group who are leaning more to the rock side of the industry. From a first glance of a still image of the video and the name of the song being "Robbers" we assume the songs about robbers doing something. But after watching the video and listening to the lyrics i understand that it is not about robbers and more that robbers is a distraction and is a metaphor for the relationship and love between the male and female protagonist. The video does still involve robbers and them robbing things but mainly shows the buildup and aftermath of doing this, like a relationship.



Editing

Many random scenes put together to produce a fast video that makes sense and starts at the end of the video and works it way forward from then. Including flashbacks and scenes filmed at different locations put together to go with the lyrics of the song. Seems very basic and an indie video that is not "mainstream" and include other special effects like other videos. Loads of intercutting.


Camera

Camera is always focused on them two and mainly a two shot including them both to show their relationship and love. Long shots in a desert to show how alone they are and close ups to show when she is angry and when he gets shot (to show the pain)

Sound

The lyrics display in the video but the two don't sing in it like other videos just the music playing in the background while filming the female and male protagonist. You think the song ends when the male goes into to the shop to rob but after the gunshot the song carries on for one more verse (engaging the audience)

Mise en scene

Plain video no filters or effects. Filmed in an indie way so is not seen as mainstream, The clothes are very indie like and include tight trousers ripped up trousers and shirts and includes a lot off smoking to show they are sort of rock and roll and includes many scenes of sex and kissing like a rock video.Mostly dark light throughout the video with minimal lighting. when they were in that hut it was dark only small amount of light from the window showing they are very alone.









This video is different compared to the robbers but also similar, it has two protagonist that we believe are in love but this is a very mainstream video that includes special effects but not as much as other videos like katy perrys. The two protagonist going out to different places to explore and they are very much in love as we can see them making love and doing activities,the video is very fast paced and includes many inter-cutting like the robbers video.
