Deconstruction of Madina Lake Here I Stand


Madina Lake
Here I Stand
3:16
Punk/ Rock




The establishing shot is a MS of a woman. The location is in some woods. This is a typical shot associated with this type of genre. The lighting is key lighting on the woman showing that she is the most important in the shot. The light looks almost to be a car headlight.

 

The MS of the band on the barge shows a lot of stereotypes. The bands image is all dark clothes, the main singer and the guitarist have dyed blonde hair whereas the bassist and the drummer have black hair, another stereotype of this genre. The lighting in this shot is key/ spotlights overhead of the band.


The stereotypical convention of this genre is graffiti. This is included within the music video when the girl draws on the wall in lipstick.


This LS of groups of people running out of the woods supports the conventions linked with this genre. They are all wearing dark clothing with different band logo's on. They generally have black hair also associated with the rock image. The lighting comes from lamps hung in the trees giving it a rave feel to the audience; a personal favourite with this genre.
