Music Video Analysis



Wiley feat Ms D - Heatwave
performance video
Star in text
A story exists to create the stars persona, this blending of elements can also enable a type of music such as rap to have cross over appeal to a wider audience

Wiley is a well known grime artist and in this video he has recreated himself with a hip-hop genred song which appealled to a wide audience making it his first solo number one

pop video 
relatonship between video and music (locations)




The music video starts with a low angle of wiley opening the song,
There lots of the generic close up shots of wiley and the women in the video playing on the male perspective,
With a few midshots of the women being mashed inbetween the quick shots,
The camera at points bounce with the beat of the music and the people dancing within the video,
The camera also films from underwater at points








Heatwave is a summer party anthem which is set in a hot country with palm tree and beachs to the pool,
The people in the video are mostly women in revealing clothes appealing to the man eye,
In the video there is a small dog which is given its own close ups which are very popular with the public at the moment


Within the video the shots are constanly changing with the fastpast backing track,
There is lip syncing throughout the video with wileys lyrics as well as Ms Ds ones although Ms D is not present lip syncing in the video but the part is taken over by multiple of girls

  1. Very little content, the presentation could be improved, maybe in a prezi?
    The music video is 3mins 21 long, but from this it seems like alot of the video has not been analysed.

    You have three music video analysis' and all of them are presented in the same way, with a lack of content, you could use director's commentary, prezi or presentation websites.

    I would give this a mid level 2.
