9 Frame Analysis - Arcade Fire - Steven Hegarty
Shot 1 - 0.16 - This is the first shot of a band member. It is a long shot which has the person slightly off centred in the light with darkness around her. This relates to the song as it is quite a dark song. The darkness is used throughout.
Shot 2 - 0.29 - This is a long shot of some of the band with the lead singer in the centre and the other members of the band on the edges close to the darkness. This shot continues from the last as the camera pans from the violin player to show us the rest of the band.
Shot 3 - 0.45 - Here is a cartoon-like shot of what looks to be the lead singer. It is a close up and carries on with the dark theme even though it has switched from real to cartoon. It looks as though the person in this shot is dead which relates to the gothic feel of the rest of the video.
Shot 4 - 0.55 - This long shot is also a cartoon. It shows some people on a boat that is about to be engulfed by a wave. The people seem distressed and the colours are very dull which relates well to the theme of the video.
Shot 5 - 1.32 - This shot is of a made up cartoon creature. This shows that the video is also very imaginative as it doesn't just involve real life shots and cartoon shots, but also shots of mythical thing. The gothic theme continues.
Shot 6 - 2.44 - Close ups of the lead singer occur throughout this video. Here is one of him while he sings. the background and dark edges relate to the gothic feel. We can also see a shirt collar which i would say relates the the old style gothic feel well as he must be smartly dressed.
Shot 7 - 3.47 - Here is a long shot of a cartoon woman who looks like the drummer of the band. She is wearing a long black dress with red gloves, this has a very gothic feel to it. The way she is dragging a house by her hair seems very strange and also shows the creativity of the video.
Shot 8 - 4.12 - This is a long shot of the people and a wide angle shot of the car, it shows what looks like the band in a cartoon car. It continues with the dark theme of the video. On the cars number plate we can see 'A FIRE' which is an abbreviation of the bands name.
Shot 9 - 4.13 - This is a mid shot of the band in a cartoon car. It is a mix between cartoon and real life. All of their faces look dull which relates to the gothic feel.
Digipak Analysis - The Kooks Poster - Jordan Crosby
Advertisement
The overall look of the advert is very simple and plain and the colors used for the text has a contrast. Through out all the adverts and album covers The Kooks always seem to have a picture of the band as the main subject. The main image used in the advert was the exact same as on the album cover. The image is black and white which again suggests the simplicity of the band and their advertising material , this is is the main obvious link between the image and the text.
Digipack
The front of the Kooks " Inside In The Inside Out"
Digipack shows the simplicity of the band and have also sticks to the conventions of other indie bands covers with sticking with black and white style. The have made the background image of the band black and which and have then made the title bold and red so it stands out. The font is not the biggest it could have been but as it is centred and at the top it is the first thing on the cover which catches your eye.
The back of the digipack again contains the simplistic look , The image looks very similar can be confused to be the same. The small print is even minimal compared to other bands. The digipack gives of the impression that they only included the most important features nothing more or less. They have stock with the same colour scheme on the actual CD (Black , White and Red) This could be classed as the house style for this album.
