Analysis of chosen artist - music video



Sara Bareilles – Brave

Although this video is by the same as our chosen artist, the overall sound of it is different therefore I’m not sure how many aspects of this video we will find useful. She uses a lot of match cuts of different people dancing, including herself. After a brief analysis of the lyrics I think that the overall idea the song is trying to get across is that no matter how low you feel right now, you always have to be brave and do whatever makes you happy no matter what other people might say or think. I think this idea is portrayed through the video in some of the shots of the public dancing with another person / people looking at them, as the video moves on, the people watching begin to accept it.













This particular shot is one that really jumped out at me. She is walking towards the camera, which is moving backwards. In the behind the scenes video, she mentions going to “sing double-time” which I assume means that they play the track twice as fast and she sings along, then they can under-crank this so that the visuals are in slow motion but the track is still playing at normal speed. This is something I think we should try out as it looks very effective.










Most of the shots have the artist centre frame but I think we’ll use a range of framing to show our knowledge and understanding.
