Analizing music vidoes

Green Day: Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

The setting is a deserted American desert town which works well as the song is about being lonely. They are wearing fashionable clothes as to get viewers. The whole video basically is just green day walking down a lane and singing with very plain expressions with some shots of then playing instruments thrown in. Only the non diegetic sound of the song is heard. There is a mixture of high key and low key lighting. There is a strange range of composition and angles in the video, it flickers between them, you see the long shot, the mid shot, the close up, and the extreme close up jumbled up with aim to confuse. The clip has a quick pace. The cutting  rate is mixed up and varied throughout the video.
There is a video effect making the clips look old and faded and it flickers. This is one of my favorite music videos and is very enjoyable.

The Beatles: Help!

The music video is in a plain white room, the band is in the middle of the room, and the video is just different angles of the band playing the music. Its very plain unlike most new music videos, and its in black and white. They are wearing pack turtle neck sweaters. It is mainly high key lighting. There is a  mixture of camera angles. The cutting rate is slower than on modern music videos. The tune is very catchy and though there is many differences between this and the newer one I enjoy both.
