The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger
The Fratellis hit song Chelsea Dagger is a very fast up beat song that has a catchy tune to it.
The video starts of with a lady wearing patent black heels. This creates a sense of promiscuous behavior as she is showing a lot of leg and this is all that the camera has focused on.
It then cuts on to the drummer of the band who is quite clearly playing the drums, this shows me that the music video could be a band performance
The video then cuts to the band appearing one after each-other to the beat of the song.
The video then follows on to burlesque girls dancing to that song, with happy emotions on their faces. This creates a happy and promiscuous atmosphere. It also shows the sexual appeal that women have towards men through the skimpy outfits that they wear. The video represents some very promiscuous shots of the women, wearing corsets and stockings. This gives men a sense of sex appeal, and happiness.
This is a performance based video. The video cuts from the band to the burlesque girls until they join together. When they join together the girls are dancing doing the cancan whilst the band sings around them.
Vampire Weekend - Cousins
In my opinion i think that this video is quite iconic for this up beat song. This is because Vampire Weekend use the idea of tracking back and forth throughout the video without changing scenery. The only thing that Vampire Weekend change in their video is what they are doing.
This is the scenery that is used throughout the whole of the video. However, the directing in which they travel down changes, sometimes they're traveling backwards and sometimes they travel forwards. However they do not travel sideways.
When the song is playing and the lead singer is tracking, the other band members are seen on the left hand side playing their instruments.
This video has some imperfect cuts, usually this would make a video look cheap and rubbish. However for Vampire Weekend it helps to build and iconic video. During the chorus there is a cut when the main singer in singing with people walking past in the background. After this there is another cut of the lead singer in the same position however in the background there is no one walking past.
