As a way to understand the genre that our group is doing, I have analysed Televisors' 'Find That Someone', as our song choice does not have an official music video. The song is of a similar genre to our own, as well as having some mention to romance.
The video introduces the artist in a literal way by using a zoom shot of an old T.V. with the artists name on in before zooming in. Despite the voice artist being male, most of the lip syncing is done by the females that appear throughout the music video; perhaps showing that relationship issues occur for both genders and not being biased.
The music video focuses on a number of things; one of which is colour. Pink, blue and green backgrounds are mostly used for each female to show the difference between them; constantly cutting to each shot quickly to match the pace of the song itself. The shot changes at least every line, if not quicker to keep with the pace of the song.
The video is also very literal shown in places such as where it says, 'You can tell me secrets' and has someone whispering into anothers' ear, and it saying, 'But I could never love' with a broken heart on the ground. There is also a look of shots of the women looking, particularly where it says, 'Find thae someone'. The majority of the lip syncing done is in the lines 'Just like you', where it cuts between each female to show their differences.
There is also relation to Vernallis' 'The Kindest Cut' Theory. This is due to the editing matching the beat of the song and lip syncing of the song between different characters, as well as cuts to different shots in time with the beat.
There is also a large use of eggs during the video that didn't seem to be relevant to the video at first, but made more sense as it went on. The eggs were used as metaphor for how people feel after unsuccessful relationships shown as there was use of the egg being crushed and a fried egg being place on the eyes and the yolk being broken to show crying.
Stop motion was used in the video to make not only inanimate objects such as string move, but also was used to make the females move in a jumpy way at the end of the song. The inanimate objects often spelled out 'You' when it was sung; continuing in the literal theme.
The video overall was interesting as it used lots of shot types and shots in general that helped support the lyrics. It was fast paced to fit the song and was unique that it was one that was memorable through the use of colour and interesting metaphors.
