Analysis of Music Video

This video is a narrative talking about a real life event. The singer is telling his experience flying with United Airlines. The video is made up of a series of wide shots with a couple medium shots of the singer’s guitar. The angle is straight on for the majority of the video, with only a couple clips being taken from a high or lower angle than the subject. The lighting is natural light with some studio lighting when the singer is shown singing against a black backdrop. The depth of field is deep, except in one scene where the clip of the artist strumming his guitar starts out of focus and then is focused as it progresses. The camera cuts from shots of the singer telling the story in his studio to shots showing a dramatized version of the story. The cuts match what the vocalist is singing. The camera has no movement itself, all of the movement is performed by the actors themselves and the camera remains stationary throughout the video.
