The music video I chose to do is One Thing by One Direction.
My initial reaction to the music video was "WOW! These guys are so beautiful! And the song is so upbeat and catchy!"I thought the music video was very fun and candid, and it resembled The Beatles and The Monkees . It was very natural and had no real structure to it and it was just One Direction out in London having fun and being themselves. The song is initially about a guy who likes a girl and he's trying to get recognized by her and get her attention but his attempts go unnoticed. I think that they created this music video to show that the guys in One Direction are just normal people like you and me. That they are very fun and new and something that we havent seen in the music industry for a couple of years now. I think the theme of the video is just to live life and have fun, to enjoy being young and appreciate it while you still can and that life is what you make it so make it enjoyable. I do not think that this music has any religious ties to it. I think that the music video was loosely inspired by The Beatles. One Direction do have similarities with The Beatles, and they embrace it. Even though I love the music video, I dont think that the song lyrics really go with the music video. Theres not really a storyline behind it but I think the upbeat-ness of the song matches the tone of the music video. I love the song and the music video makes me even love it more. It also makes me love Harry, Niall, Louis, Zayn and Liam more.
Love the video you chose, really love the scenery in this music video.
ReplyDeleteI like how you chose to do your video analysis on 'One Thing'-- it's my favourite song by One Direction, and also my favourite music video by them. I agree that the video shows the fun, immature and goofy side of them because I swear past boy bands had a kind of tough, bad boy aura going on for them (although I can't be too sure-- was never a big fan of boy bands) so One Direction is definitely a refreshing group of young faces to emerge on the scene. Whenever I listen to One Thing, I associate it to this fun and upbeat video so yeah, now the song reminds me of having fun with others.
ReplyDeleteLIAM LOOKS BETTER WITH HIS OLD BOWL CUT LOL jks but none the less i like the video you chose. I like how they went into the city and randomly started singing with there fans,also i like how it always looks like there always having fun. I agree that they are something we haven't seen in awhile, and people thought boy bands were dead XD
