Madonna- Frozen
The sweater song tends to start of dull and the camera is upside down. The music matches the visuals. This is a performance based music video as the band is seen playing and singing in the music video. There is special lighting as the lighting turns from dull to bright blue. The camera tends to rotate around the band as they perform. The visuals still look very dull as the lighting is not strong enough to see the bands faces. The visuals in the music video do not match the song lyrics at all. The music video turns very random towards the end as dogs randomly enter the stage which has no relevance to the song at all.
Madonna- frozen starts off very dull as well. The music also matches the visuals. The lighting is very dull and natural and there are no colours. This is a concept based music video. The camera focuses on the main singer which is madonna throughout the majority of the video. The visuals also do not tend to match the lyrics. The lighting is the same throughout the whole video. Effects are used and also like the sweater song, dogs appear, but they seem more relevant to the song.
LO: Develop understanding of what auteur is.

Aphex Twins: Window Licker
This music video is 10minutes long and has a story to it. The language includes alot of swearing. At the beginning of the video, the audience gets the idea that there are 2men in a flashy car looking for women to sleep with. This is usually typical is many hip hip videos where the idea of men being superior around women is common and they talk about sleeping with them. However Chris Cunningham twists the situation when a very long limo enters and there is a weird looking man inside. Special effects are used from this point as the women suddenly appear to have mens faces and are portrayed are ugly but have desirable bodies that men are interested in. This is mocking how women usually look. The colours in the video are very dull and natural. The overall video is very unrealistic and fantasy like.
