Analysis of Love Songs
1) Snow Patrol - Set The Fire To The Third Bar
This song is very powerful, the music and the visuals. What's happening on screen is the man and the woman are split up from each other. One is in a cell and one is outside the cell. Or it could be the other way round as it doesn't make it that clear, its just one room is lit up really bright and the other is quite dark with one red chair. But as the video goes on, it appears that there both in cells as they both walk up to the window with bars on. I really like how both of the characters are wearing black. This shows darkness and evil, maybe even lost of power. My favourite part is the chorus, it defiantly builds up as it takes 1:36. A good strong chorus is really good, that's what people remember about songs and its really meant to be the best bit of any song. But what I find a bit unusual is that this song only has two choruses when most have at least three. I guess because it had a massive build up to the first chorus.

2) Christina Perri - A Thousand Years
This song is one I've took a bit of inspiration from as its the most similar style to mine. We've got the singer (Christina Perri) singing with a very small amount of featured clips from Twilight - Breaking Dawn Part 1. I like the visuals because Christina starts singing in low light, then towards the end the sun comes out for the third and finale chorus. Also at the start the temperature of the idea is very cold as there's a lot of blue and white. Then at the end it gets warmer as the sun rises. It get more magical and powerful, even the wind blows through her hair and leaves blow around her. Also the way she sings it in the finale chorus, she looks a lot more happier and you can tell she's enjoying it a lot more than the previous two choruses. Before it was very dark and sad, as she surrounds herself in lit candles on the floor. I like how the Twilight clips are merged into the video, even if its a very small amount. That's what I want to achieve with my music video, to have the singer sing on location and then to have quick cutaways to my story 'The Guardians Tale'.

3) Sigma - Find Me ft. Birdy
What's happening on screen is a journey searching for love in the city. I really like this song and the visuals. The visuals are really well edited together, its very quick edited. I'm guessing how this was filmed was Millie standing in front of a green screen. The background is blurred out of focus moving and she's just walking on the spot, so it makes it look like she's in the actual shot. Its really cleverly done and looks really beautiful to look at, especially with all the bright vibrant colours of the traffic lights and background city lights. But that's not the only thing, there's light shining on her face to make it more realistic that's she's there. I like the idea of it being a little artificial in the way the colourful lights hit her face as it adds more emotion, imagination and power. I like this video even more because the actor who's playing on screen is the actor who plays Eleven (Elle) in Netflix series Stranger Things. So the music video means more if you've watched that series. Eleven and Mike, who are the main characters in that series finally get together at the end of series 2. All that time searching for each other, as they were both lost. This song is called 'Find Me'. Its touched so many fans hearts.
