FS- Music Video Ideas

 My kind of Woman- Mac DeMarco



·       One single smooth shot illustaring a story with a following hand held camera with Mac, as the central focal point motivating camera movement and is given prevalence in the narrative.
·       The mise-en-scene in the video is very intricate and although at first viewing it looks messy and all over the place but in fact the lettering at the beginning is a jumbled up version of his name, Mac DeMarco.
·       The fact he is wearing makeup and dressed as a woman in an ironic way giving reference to the lyrics.  
·       His comedic personality comes through in the video in his body language and the nudity at the end is one of the things he is a custom to when performing live so is not is a part of his star image to some extent.
·       Meat shots compile the majority of the video whether its Mac holding the camera himself, or passing it off to someone else in order to complete an action relevant to the narrative.

Warned You- Good Morning



·       Vintage 50s styled filming showing a ‘rocker’ styled man chasing a girl.
·       Him on a motorbike and her on a bike connotes her as an innocent girl the reaction shots of her looking distressed connotes that she is feeling violated.
·       As the narrative develops the girl on the bike develops a sexual desire for a different man who seems far more mature than the first man.
·       The xcu’s of separate body parts and expressions connotes the sexual tension between the pair.


Homeshake - Give it to me


·       Disjunctive video, showing the band on holiday somewhere, no relation to lyrics.
·       Slow motion shots of sea gulls composed next to holiday styled montage breaks up the video making it less corny to a certain extent.
·       Hand held shots on the rides in a self taken frame give it a light hearted feel which adds to the relationship between the music as the music is light and quite happy.
