Lip Syncing Task

Friendly Fires - Hawaiian Air

Again this is another illustrate video as it relates to the video throughout. It is mainly revolved around the singer on a plane which is known as the Hawaiian Air which is the name of the song and is what the song is about. And although we do see the band playing instruments and singing they become part of the meaning on the video as they are sat on the plane. They also become part of the problem on the plane along with many other problems which the song indicates such as when the song says 'aching my leg from a broken seat' we see the drummer sat behind drumming on the singers chair which is the cause of the broken seat. In the video we do also see clips of what is indicated to be Hawaii and Friendly Fires in Hawaii but this again relates with the song title and what the song is about.

Everything Everything - Suffragette Suffragette

This video would be classed as amplification as the video includes words an images that are used in the song . Throughout this video we see many words which are used in the song. The first of these words is used at 0.09 which is blitz and this word appears when it is said in the song. During the first part of the chorus we heard the words 'Back to the liver. Take my lung, take my loose tongue, take my sum, take my memory' and during this point we are shown these words at the bottom of the screen. At this point we are also shown images of a liver, lung, tongue and a brain which all match up with the lyrics. Other parts of the video we are also shown are of the band members singing and playing instruments which doesn't create any meaning to the song lyrics but they are dressed up to create humor and their costumes fit in with was is going on in the video.

Blonde Redhead - Top Ranking

This again is another disjuncture music video as it video doesn't create any meaning towards the song. We are shown one girl in the same room throughout. The girl in the video changes position every second which keeps the video flowing. Also a range of different shots are used so we see here from different angles. In the video the girl used is not in any way related towards the band Blonde Redhead which in disjuncture videos bands usually use themselves.

The Drums - Best Friend

In this video they have used what is called a disjuncture technique. This is were the video doesn't create any meaning what so ever to the song. Like most disjuncture music videos we are shown a video of the band playing the song. We are only shown one setting throughout the whole of the video and only one shot is used throughout. As you only see one shot the band keep the video entertaining by dancing and moving around. Such as when the song starts you cannot see the singer but you can hear him and then he comes in through a small window at the side of the room. As the room is small you can see everything which is going on so that the video looks busy.

Yeasayer - 2080

I think that this music video would be classed as illustration as the video represents the song 2080. Throughout the video we see only one setting where the video is located appearing to be space which is how Yeasayer are trying to interpret there idea of what 2080 will be like. In the video we see very little people but they are all shown wearing space suits showing that in 2080 they have the idea that everyone will be living in space. We are also shown images of space shuttles which indicates also about the place of which they are at. Although they are showing what they think it will be like in 2080 they use the lyrics 'In 2080 i'll surely be dead but don't look ahead, never look ahead' which indicates that they think anything could happen just like they think in their video.
