Black Veil Brides - Fallen Angels Music Video Analysis (2)

1. Institutional/Reference Information
The Music video I'm analysing is Black Veil Brides, Fallen Angel which is directed by (Name).
The genre that the music belongs to is most deffinately rock and that is shown in it's characteristics of the music video which is both scenery and individuals as the scenery is based around a location set in fire and out in no where showing asteriods hitting the earth, Also the way that the band and also other people who are just within the music video but nothing main are all dressed in a rockish unique way with war paint painted over them and crazy hair styles along with sense of clothes.
2. What is the relationship between lyrics and visuals?
There is deffinately links between the lyrics and the visuals, these however could be tricky to find for some as it is done in a smart way, such as "We are the fallen angels" and there are asteriods hitting the earth resulting in people who could be considered as outcasts to some, resulting in the lyrics Fallen Angels. The lyrics "We scream,we shout, we are the fallen angels" also define that they are proud of who they are no matter what their judged by people, it also shows this by a huge crowd of people in make up dressed emoish and rockish with war paint all over them that they do not mind being outcasted for who they are. "Take joy in who you are, we know that our wings have flown" These lyrics also back up their voice of being outcasted for their style and interests however their joyful and feel free to do it.
3. What is the relationship music and visuals?
The relationship between the music and visuals too are also very similar , as they like to stick to their beats and their hardcore instrumentals which maintain a quick and heavy pace but the music video's visuals manage to keep up with it making it look effective and entertaining and very interesting. Also when the guitarist has his solo, it shows plenty of clips of him from many different angels and cuts playing his guitar whilst the camera is always moving.
4. Are there close-ups of the artist and star image motifs?
Yes there are plenty of great effective close-ups which is filmed amazingly capturing awesome image's, it also shows the bands own look which is very rocky looking and perhaps emoish, however it looks amazing. The close-ups vary widely of each band members facial expression and instrument such as the lead singer has the most close-ups but generally has the camera on him mostly, The lead singer throughout the entire song always has quick close-ups whilst he's singing, and at the very end it quickly goes over all of the band members faces with a close up, then after showing them all individually it shows them all together representing their individuals but in a band and each have their own look.
5. Is there reference to the notion of looking?
There is most deffinatly the notion of looking, it would be hard not to with such an amazingly filmed music video which looks very exciting and effective in the way that it looks very unique and I would say that there is easily no other video which looks like this one, which means even if your not too into the music and prefer different genres that you' still find the music video very interesting.

6. Are there intertextual references?

7. Is the music video performance-based, narrative-based or concept-based?
I'd say that the music was most deffinately mixed, It deffinately has a huge set of performance-based in their music video, as a lot of the time it shows the band themselves just together singing with passion and entertainment other then standing there together and just not doing much, But I'd also say it's very narrative-based also as it shows a lot of unique people who perhaps are outcast's in normal society if dressing like that which represents "we are the Fallen Angels"
