3 Examples of Michel Gondry’s Videos




                          The three videos
                          are:
                          •The Chemical
                          Brothers -Let it Be
                          •Radiohead –
                          Knives Out
                          •Wyclef Jean –
                          Another on Bites
                          the Dust
Speed of the video to match the song
  The Chemical Brothers              Wyclef Jean                          Radiohead




In all three of the videos Miche Gondry aims to match the speed of the music, to
the speed of the movement in the Mise en scene . For example The Chemical
Brothers is an up tempo song and there is fast movement throughout . In Wyclef
Jean’s Music video the car is driving extremely fast down the road. Moreover the
Radiohead screen shot is shoes the trains moving fast on top of the television . He
consistently likes to coordinate the movement within the mise en scene to the
song.
Camera Angles



The Chemical Brothers          Wyclef Jean                      Radiohead

At the beginning of all three videos Michel Gondry like to use an close up however in
not all of the videos is it the artist. Only in in Wyclef Jean’s video the artist has a
close up , this is effetive because it the audience can easily identify the musician .
However The Chemical Brothers and Radiohead video are similar because the artist is
not shown at the beginning this can help to make the music video more interesting
and appealing to the eye .
The use of Colour




 Michel Gondry’s Videos has the use of colour to make his videos stand out from the rest.
This particularly noticeable in the Chemical Brothers video , where is bright costumes and
scenery , this evident within my screen shot . However in Wyclef Jhon’s video there is
use of bright scnery then the costume . Moreover in the Radiohead music video has use
bright scenery and subtle costume like Wyclef’s Video
Is Michel Gondry an Auteur ?
 Michel Gondry is an Auteur as he likes to make initiative and creative music
   videos to appeal to specific target audience. He aims to entertain the
   audience by producing abstract video’s. The three music video examples
   were all abstract, it is evident that he like to be unique because he does not
   always produce performance videos .

An auteur aims to make videos within the same way , Michel Gondry can show
   these characteristics within his work because produces videos with similar
   codes.

Michel Gondry has consistent use of tilting the camera in his music videos , this
   looks edgy and aesthetically pleasing the eye . This has an impact on the
   audience as it makes them feel more connected to what is happening within
   the mise en scene .
