Looking at Spike Jonze

One of his most well known creations for a music artist, is the video Björk - It's oh so quiet

Here is a list of the notes written down during a screening of the music video, thinking how to deconstruct a music video, compared to film clips that we were used to.

• Lighting effects match tempo and structure of song
  
• Synchronous
  
• Borrows from musical and form of intertextuality
  
• Centrally framed for singer
  
• Distinctive orange dress, contrast to others
  
• Represented as energetic, bubbly, qwerky, despite the fact that she is pregnant
  
• Contrast in opening, to catch the viewer's eye and create a complete comparison to the character
  
• Horror, dirty, run down bath room, water and light sounds
  
• Slow tracking, synchronous/illustrative with music
  
• Whizz pan, sense of energy
  
• Borrows from musicals - Tin man
  
• Vulnerable, wind slow motion clip
  
• Pace in music, camera faster
  
• Continuity editing, stunt double
  
• Birds eye view, umbrella theme (singing in the rain)
  
• Crane/symbolism, star, happy, in love.
