Technical analysis conclusion: Westlife- Home

from analysing this music video i have a better understanding of the key technical detail we will have to include in our music video for it to be a sucessful boyband video.
There is a huge difference between the amount of time different members of the band get on the camera. the lead singer is the only member shown singing up until 1 min 10 secs, then the second singer takes over. the other two members of the band get about 5 seconds each of camera time showing them singing parts of the chorus. the solo singing parts are majoritally close ups of the singer, other than when the narrative story comes in. the band are shown to be in two different locations throughout the whole video, on the runway and in the plane. the other location in the video is the narrative story in the arrivals part of an airport where famalies and couples are re-unighting. when the narrative story is introduced there are cuts from the band to the actors in quick sucession. aswell as close up shots of individual members of the band, there are also different camera shots that show the whole band, often airial shots are used helping show the location they are in. throughout the video there are regular cuts from the band on the runway, then back inside the plane, giving the viewer the feeling that they are going 'home'. the standing formation of the band always seems to be important and their diamond formation is shown with the use of the craine shots. after 2 minutes of the video there were 42 different cuts of shots, showing even as there were only three different locations throughout the whole video the camera angle was always changing and there were fluent consistant cuts between the 3 locations. in almost every shot of the band singing, they are looking directly into the camera, which is common in most boyband videos and we will certainly use this technique in ours along with others i have mentioned above. link to video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdLdOLDgHMA
