Music video analysis 4: Arctic Monkeys- Snap Out of It.

I watched the music video for the song 'Snap Out of It' by the Arctic Monkeys from their album 'AM'. The director of the music video was Focus Creeps.

At first when watching the video I looked for the narrative and performance split to see how balanced it was in the video. During the video the performance is shown within footage recorded in a studio when the woman watches video tapes from her past. And in the footage you see the band play the instruments of the song, in a behind the scenes format.

The multiple shots taken of the woman in video show a range of emotions from being upset and crying her eyes out to being happy and laughing. This looked really effective to show the range of emotions that are attached to a music video.

When watching the music video, it starts with a slow motion effect indicating that the video may have have other special effects and edits throughout.

What our group will take from this video we'll take the use of the shots which show a spectrum of emotions to help our protagonist, the boyfriend, to gain sympathy from the viewers of our music video. Also to show the emotions of the girlfriend and her feelings throughout the video.
