2. Here is the song:
Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhRj_DaqCxQ
I will analyse the video via four important rules:
• Voyeurism-how is the audience viewing the scene and is there
any interaction?
• What is the relationship between the music and the visuals?
• How do you know that this video is made by this person?
• How is the artist portrayed?
Also I will talk about the director and why I have chosen the video to
look at.

3. In this video there is a lot of audience-artist
interaction. The artist, Alex Day, is a story
teller who is creating a world made out of
words and spinning them together to create
the visuals we see.
The establishing shots and titles help to
illustrate and introduce the video. In
these shots the audience is just an
invisible eye viewing the situation.
This invisible eye trick is also used to
show differences in time. For example
Lady Godiva’s husband does not look
at the camera whereas modern day
girls view Alex as he parades around in
a wig do look at the camera.

4. The music and the visuals do relate to each other a
lot as the lyrics describe each scene. For example the lyrics “A
Hollywood director came into town” are being sung as the image above
is shown.
Alex also sings in the video as another person, i.e. the Hollywood
director. He sings “How’d you like to be a star” while being the director.

How similar is it to his other music
videos? Well to be honest with you
this video waved in a whole new look
for Alex’s videos as it looks more
polished and defined.
Before this video his style was cheap
but effective. It still conveyed the
same message but it just wasn’t as
good as it could have been. (Highest
image.)
Now he has finally cracked that http://www.y
outube.com/
defined look that reassures his

cfwRs8ak&fea
ture=plcp
audience to trust him. He carries
that on in his next video. (Lowest
video.)

6. In the video Alex is portrayed as many characters throughout the video.
This suggests to the audience that he is someone who is up for anything
and isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty. Also by playing every character bar
Lady Godiva and a horse, his face is being drummed into their heads so
that they know who he is. By doing this the audience can get to know Alex
almost as a distant friend. Someone who is cool, fun and reliable.

7. Believe it or not this music video was directed by none other than Alex
Day himself. He has directed several music videos before but there was
a change this time as he was joined by an influential friend; Ciaran
O’brien.
Ciaran is a masterful photographic director. A short list of his work:
He is one of those people who can see http://www.youtube.com/w
something in two different lights and has atch?v=CmLBWg1xKBU
the equipment to implement it. He is a shy
character and does actually live with Alex http://www.youtube.com/w
Day. He has no Youtube account that I can atch?v=Z4HwAUEvkIQ&featu
find but he does have Twitter. re=plcp

8. So why do I think that this music video is special?. Well Alex Day is a
Video Blogger or Vloger for short and I have been watching his videos
for over a year. He is a nice person with good intentions and a desire
to top the UK Christmas charts with a number one. Last year he came
his closest with a number 4 on Christmas day with Forever Yours. That
propelled him so far that he was able to fly on a whim to Iceland for
New Years.
But I find that the video is a vast improvement on all of his others. In
this he leaves his shared London house and heads to Coventry. This is
something alien to his music videos as the furthest he has gone before
is a grave yard.
