Past Students Work Analysis


This is one of many of the A2 Media Students Work, its well reviewed with over 9,000 views on YouTube. The song is 'Fire Meet Gasoline' by Sia, its been published by Joe Wilmot on his YouTube channel for is A2 studies.  

Again this is a pop music video, so it features different codes and conventions for music video's, this includes lip syncing by the main artist as well as the lead actor. A link between the visuals and the lyrics, a romance and the shots cut on the beat to help speed up the music video without the audience noticing it, nor without actually speeding up the music itself.

As most pop music videos there is also a link between the visuals and the lyrics starting with the chorus, while the whole music video itself is a narrative, the first time the visuals link with the lyrics is in the chorus when the artist sings 'Fire meets gasoline' and a flame is lit.

The second time the lyrics link with the visuals is at the end of the music video when they sing 'Burn with me tonight' and the flame is lit again.
