Music Video Analysis

The Video I am Analysing is KickStart By Example Renixed by Bar9. This song’s genre is Dubstep. There isn’t really any broad Characteristics of that genre, other than the big bass kicks and something happens when the bass goes there’s no real characteristics.

There is relation between lyrics and visuals. The Biggest relation between the lyrics and the visuals is when he says “ Deep down you’re my girl in the golden crown, my princess and I don’t wanna let you down.” He’s being held by two people and as the lyrics say don’t wanna let you down the bass kicks and as it does he breaks from their grip and shows he not going to let her down. The beginning of the song he goes to his girlfriends house he knocks on the door and she opens it and the lyrics say “ Look into to your eyes imagine life without ya,” He’s looking into her eyes “ The love kick starts again.” Two guys come walking to her house with stockings on their head rush throught the door and grabs the girl and throws her onto the bed.  The second time he sings the Love kick starts again The boyfriend is beating the other two guys. She then gets him to leave the house and as they are leaving two more guys came and the started running, they get away and he’s fuming and she runs the hold him but he pushes her off and then she holds his hand  “And the love kick Starts again” They Get away and they sleep on a park bench and as she asleep he goes to get her some food, He wakes her up and gives her the food. She starts to eat it “ Look into your eyes imagine life without ya,” Someone then Jumps off a wall into a fence chasing them “And the love kick Starts again” As he say “Kick” He kicked the guy who jumped off the wall. They Run to a construction site and 10 guys crawl out of the holes and bars and bricks. This bit of the song was quite contradictive the lyrics are “Forget I never had it so sweet” as he being held down by the Gang members, This is bit is contradicted as he has never had life so sweet but he’s being held down by a gang and his girlfriend is getting beaten up by the aswell.

Throughout the video as the bass or the drums kick and the scene in the video will cut to a different shot. He is being held down by the gang and the music kicks in and he shrugs them off him and the scene cuts as the bass kicks aswell. There isn’t much of a solo instrumental bit other than when he sings the chorus and there is 2 instruments playing one after the other. The video changes pace with the music massively, when the chorus is being song the tempo of the video and the music is calm and mellow as in the being of the song where he walking to her house and he is at her door the music is calm, but soon as the bass kick the music becomes hectic and fast paced two guys put stockings on their heads and the music becomes fast paced as they rush into the building and throw the girl onto the bed. There are symbols being played as well in the song and most out the time when the symbols are played someone is hit or something is being smashed, The scene where they are in her house and her boyfriend pushes one of the mugs of the table he smashes in to some plates and the symbols are used as a smashing noise for the plate. When they are trapped under a construction site the symbols are in time with the video, each punch and kick are in time with the symbols. The symbols creates empathises on each hit.
