Analysis of The Kooks - She Moves In Her Own Way

The Kooks - She Moves In Her Own Way on MUZU.

• The shots within the music video change around every 1-3 seconds, with the beat; this is typical of the indie/rock genre.
• Medium close-ups of the frontman (lead singer) are used mainly, as well as a few medium close-ups of the rest of the band performing with their instruments.
• Most of the music video shows the band performing in different locations; on the streets, on their tour bus, by a swimming pool, on  the balcony of a theatre/cinema. This represents how as a band you are always on the road and the different locations you are able to perform at, it could also be to show the locations that the band have enjoyed performing at.
• The music video also shows the band going round different places having fun together and with the local people, which is one of the perks of the band. Also, showing that the band are enjoying themselves in their music video makes people want to watch it, and means that the audience will enjoy what they are watching.
• What is shown in the music video soesn't match to the lyrics of the song, unlist most music videos. I think that the reason The Kooks have done this is to show how they aren't like most band and that they are a little bit different and quirky and do not need to create a narrative within the music video to make it appeal to an audience.
• The basic story behind the music video is how the band has fun and interacts with each other while on tour/away from the stage and studio.

I really enjoyed this music video because it doesn't follow a narrative of a storyline; instead it just shows how the band reacts together and how they gel as a group, which makes the music video more realistic. It also doesn't come across as being stage by choreographers, instead it feels as though the band have had a lot of imput into their music video.
