Research and Planning- Standing next to me

The band are wearing matching suits and this dress style alone makes the audience associate them with a smart and sharp sounding music. We also recognise this style from past band that were successfull such as The Beatles, and we assume this could be a similar genre. The black and white colour scheme of the background and also the dancers dresses continue to make this band look smart. The contrast of only the black and white throughout make the video simple but effective. The matching suits and similar hair cuts makes us recognise this style as they give the impression they are showing what music inspired them. There is a relationship between the lyrics and visulas, the song is tiltled 'standing next to me' and throughout the video the two band members are standing side by side and even walk next to eachother. This is clever and may be unnoticed to the audience.
The dancers in the video are in time with the beat of the music which creates a relationship with the music and visuals. The dancing is fast and sharp, which again follows the style of the music. There are many mid shots of the two members of the band together instead of the usual close ups of the lead singer only. This is to show they are both the centre peice of the band and they dress in the same style which makes it easier for the audience to understand them as a band and to allow first impressions of the music from their style.
This video category is Illustration as it is simple straight foward video with the band shown playing the song to give the impression it is a live performance.
