This is my third music video research powerpoint presentation. I have used the song 'Too Close' by Alex Clare.

1. A2 Music Video Research
Lauren Maskrey

2. Music Video 3:
Alex Clare- Too Close.

3. How’re the band/artist
represented?
Is this similar across the videos?:
In the music video, Alex Clare the artist is not presented in a specific way. He is
not shown much in the video, but when he is, he is only shown to be singing.
Throughout the video, the main things that are shown, are two masked people
fighting.
In my video, I want my artist or band to be in the video throughout and represented
as something else, not just themselves.

4. What relationships exist between
images and lyrics in the chosen
video?:
There is not much of a relationship between the images and the lyrics in the video
‘Too Close’. The lyrics of the song are describing the love between two people and
the loss of one of them. The video is of two people fighting and this doesn’t really
coincide with the lyrics.

5. What relationship exists between
the music and the images?:
The music and images have some relationship, the music goes well with the
fighting scene, but it changes at the right times, when the scene is just of Alex
Clare singing.

6. Are there any inter-textual
references to other media forms? If
so who/what?:
There are no other inter-textual references in the music video.

7. Is it possible to see any common
features in the music video?:
There are some common features that occur in the music video, these are:
Fighting between the two masked characters
Alex Clare singing
The same locations are used throughout the video.

8. What taglines or catchphrases are
present?:
The only phrase used again and again is the song title ‘Too Close’ which is
repeated throughout the video and the lyrics.
