Similar Product Research: Tom Odell - Another Love.

Link to Another Love - Tom Odell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwpMEbgC7DA

I have chosen to analyse this song as the genre is similar to Raw Kadence and it is the type of music video Becka and I are looking to produce.


Like other videos I have looked at, this video is very dully coloured. This links to the genre of music and the artist. The video starts with an extreme close up of Tom Odell, which zooms it whilst focused on him, and the shot gets lighter and lighter when the shot zooms out more and more, this shot is effective and Becka and I could do it. This video is performance based and narrative based at the same time, as an actor is with him and acting around him, having a conversation with him whilst he is performing. The shots in this video are all continuous and no transitions are used however the actor keeps leaving the shot and re-entering using fades and other techniques.This is effective and also seems easy to do so Becka and I could use this idea. This video seems to have hand-held camera shots as well as steady-cam. The lighting changes in this video throughout the instrumental this is something myself and Becka can do in our video.


I have been inspired by these use of close ups. 


The lighting is subtle and the mise en scene desaturated. This inspired my creativity and i like the props: flowers and mirror.

  1. Add in representation theory here. Think about: Dyer – ‘how we are seen determines how we are treated’ ‘a star is an image, not a real person’
    Mulvey – male gaze
    Perkins – stereotypes are not simple
