Mcfly - thats the truth

McFly - Thats The Truth


At the beginning of the music video there is a instrumental which shows the narrative of the song and music video which can set the overall tone. This is to convey to the audience the sort of music video it will be. As this is quite commom in music videos we have decided to use this in our music video.
The chorus is mainly performance which is what we hope to do in our music video as music videos are made to sell the artist and if the audience ie fans see their favourite artist play instruments it can suggest that not only can they sing, but they can also play instruments.The use of midshots of them performing also show that they are musicans aswell as performers as we the audience can see them playing the guitar/drums.
This music video shows the typical conventions of a breakup song - performance in empty  place, person thinking about the relationship, smashing things out of anger.
The lighting of the bedroom is dark to represent the misery and the shining light from the window can represent that the relationship is still there. Lighting in music videos can make the overal feel of the video and therefore when we make our music video, we are going to have to consider lighting options aswell.
Towards the end of the music video the build up of it has come which is shown through the narrative story aswell as the musical istruments as in the guitar and drums. This is due to the flooding of water in my opinion signifies how the guy who has been in the relationship is drowning of sorrow because the water is filling up.
At the end of the music video where the guy looks at the bed with the two pillows can suggest that he misses his ex and that they should be together as there are two pillows on the bed.
Overall this song is quite upbeat which is a juxtaposition to the music video as the narrative is quite lonely and upset.
