Music Video Analysis: Geri Halliwel

The first impression of the music video was that it looks different as it does not begin with music playing like normal music videos. Throughout the first couple of seconds of the video i was unsure of what it was going to be like as you see a women dressed in revealing clothes and the camera reveals her body. I then realised she was going to dance infront of judges sitting down who looked rather smart and sophisticated. This lead me to guess that the video was going to be based in the pop genre.

The camera work includes long shots, medium shots and close ups through out the music video. The editing is fast and sometime cuts to the beat of the music. The camera work can represent certian things in the video. Such as there are low angle shots of the artist to make her look more superior. Also, there are shots of her legs and stomache to make the artist look seductive.

There are many music video conventions displayed in this video. The lyrics match the visuals throughout most of the music video. Also the artist is featured in the video and she is mouthing the lyrics and dancing.

This music video seems to be based on the movie called flashdance. The reason i think this is because at the beginning of the video she is dancing infront of judges, trying to impress them.
