Analysis of a Music Video "Naive"

This music video "Naive" is edited very effectively and well made. The narrative of the story is easily understandable. We're able to see that the artist really loves the girl in the video, however, when the artist calls to see if they are still meeting, the girl reply "No I can't" we then see her walk to the end of a bridge and meet with some other boy. There were Mis En Scene weaknesses in the beginning of the video clip where we see a Mc Donalds cup behind the girl actor. However the editing covered that mistake, for example, the fade away when she blows her smoke and the scene fades to the artist as if she's blowing it to his face. Furthermore, one other good thing about this video was when video was taken it was hand held, but there were no shakes in the clip it was all steady shooting.

I believe the genre of this music video was indie-pop-rock and the target audience is people who is older teens and I would say people in their 20s. Overall I though this video was a great piece of work. But they still needed a bit of more work on their Mis En Scene
