My 3rd chosen music video I’m going to analysis is Psychosocial by Slipknot.
Genre: Metal/Rock
Narrative/performance: Doesn’t contain any narrative only performance of the band, even thought it does change to different scenes during the video.
Shots: Lot of close up shots, as in most of slipknot's music videos, of the instruments and the masks they are wearing. There was a low angle at the drummer representing him to be the leader/Godlike. Then change of scenery to dead animal, a bear, this fits in with their genre ghostly like. Also the music video was very jumpy,
Some parts very blurry.
It does really represents the genre thought, the fire the masks, the dead animal, the location some sort of open space.
Mise en Scene: their outfits match the theme dark coloured jackets, long black hair, and the masks, Slipknot is also known to wear masks in every Music Video of theirs its like a logo of theirs, how they stand out from the other bands, got their own original thing.
Personal Opinion: its cleverly made matches its genre, however its not one of my preferred genre's.
