Analysis of AlunaGeorge - Attracting flies.

This is an analysis of AlunaGeorge's music video 'Attracting flies'.  Throughout the video there are aspects of Camera shots, Editing and Mise en scene which are used to centralise the theme Fairy tales.

 

 

The music video opens up with an establishing shot of the location. It is of a tall building which represent the building in the fairy tale Rapunzel. The editing in the video is limited, this is the only scene in which the lighting, and the buildings have an effect.

 

 

Once you have seen the establishing shot of the building we see  a wide shot of the Artist dressed in a red dress with a basket in her hand, this highlights the story little red riding hood. Another setting is highlighted which is an alleyway in London. The lighting is quite dim and faint this is done to replicate the red riding hood story.

 

We also see a close up shot of the artist. The artist seems quite confident as she is walking down an alleyway in the dark this contrasts with the theme little red riding hood as the character is seen as frightened.

 

 

We see a medium shot of a man and his dog. They are in a different location. Both of them are seen looking at the artist, this again represents the 'Bad wolf' in the theme little red riding hood.

 

Here we see the main artist in a different costume with a long plait in her hair hanging out of the window. The switching of themes to Rapunzel again portrays the artists interest in Fairy tales.

 

 

This is a wide shot of a man on a motorbike, the low angle tells us that the man might be a hero or has some kind of power, this is presented later on in the video. Here we see another alleyway. The lighting is low and faint, this is to make the man seem visible and centre of attention.

 

 

Here we see another change of themes to Sleeping beauty. The pills are used as a prop and to represent the sleeping beauty theme.

 

 



This picture highlights the theme 'Goldilocks and the three bears'. As you can see the men sitting beside the artist are the three bears as they are eating porridge. Slow motion is used when the man scoops up the porridge then drops it into the bowl. This is done to hint the theme used.

 

 

We see the artist and a few other characters on a road opposite the tall building. A wide shot is used a long with a low angle shot.

 

 

 

Lastly, we see the same character who was in the alleyway appear in this scene. This character is seen as the hero just like the man in the fairy tale snow white.
