Analysis of Michael Jackson - You Rock My World

The 1st Pop video i have chose to analyse is Michael Jackson - You Rock My World.

At the very beggining of the video there is an establishing shot which is showing us the setting and evironment there in. Many pop videos have the conventions of being in situations where they are mixed in with the members of the public.


We now see a medium close up shot of a femle which implies that she is the girl that all of the boys are after hence the song title 'You Rock My Word' She is centre right infront of the camera which also signifies that she is going to play a big part in the music video . also not only that she is centered in the middle of the screen she gets a vast amount of screen time






Here we see michael jackson almost in a behind he scence shot and he is pulling of his famous dance moves. The music here is begginning to gradually get louder which i called 'Crescendo'

This is a crane , high angle shot which is used to show performance of the artist, this is a nice shot of the aritst as it also shows his shadow. The music at this point is quite light as it wants the viewers to focus on his dance moves. The lightining effect is almost like a spotlight scence to give michael jackosn the full attention and screen time. Most pop videos have this to show the artisits individual talent other than singing.

Here is an establishing shot showing the chreographed dancers together. This is a popular shot that you will find in pop videos.
