textual analysis 2

Wolfmother - Woman

Constant Special effects
Editing in time with the music
Performance
Jumpcuts add to the effect of the energy of the special effects
Very high energy performance
Closeups of the band members, more so the singer / drummer
Little or no narrative, ie there is a 'woman' in some shots
Energy makes up for lack of narrative


Royksop - Only this Moment

Opening shots are cgi, meaning at first unclear
cgi turned into realife through good editing (slight jump out with fade)
zooms, of varying pace, add some measured energy to the shots
narrative is gradually revealed
concurences between lyrics and visuals in the theme of being together in a moment
erraticness of the shots/edits is gradually built up, lots of freedom for the director
clearly defined visual areas, space, riot, dinner... blacks, reds, whites
areas come together as the narrative goes on
