My Favourite Music Video.

One of my favourite music videos, is Sorry For Party Rocking by LMFAO. I like the fact that this video has a slight simple joke-like back story to it, and that people who are large fans of the group, LMFAO, understand the humour behind the video. However, it still makes sense and is funny to those who aren't big fans. I like the fact that the mis-en-scene is cartoon-like/plastic-like and colourful, giving the impression that it is taking place in a 'fake' world. The whole theme of the video is fun, and this is shown by the fact that everything is colourful and exciting, the people in the video are dancing around, drunk and drinking alcohol, dressing up in colourful outfits, singing and making a mess. This is also shown in the editing of the video, at moments such as 4.07 onwards, when the editing speeds up to emphasize the excitement and drunkness of the people at the party.






Another music video that i particularly enjoy is the video to Parklife by Blur. I like the fact that each line of the song matches most of the video, like at 0.50 when a fat man walks past and the lead actor says, 'you should cut out on your porklife mate'. I enjoy the fact that although the lyrics to the song are somewhat depressing, the video is rather comical and fun. This is shown by the fact thtat it takes place in a grubby town, that they describe as 'parklife', however it seems summery ans sunny. There are also people dancing around with bright coloured umbrellas, and the editing is relatively fast when the chorus comes in, to show the most exciting part of the song. The video attracts all kinds of audience, as its set in a lower class, 'grubby' town, and this makes people feel as if Blur know how it feels to be in a grubby area, singing about their 'Parklife'.
