a video analysis to loose yourself to dance by daft punk

1. Shot Type
Analysis
Low angle-mid shot pan
0.24- This is the opening shot to the
music video and instantly puts them
in the middle of the shot with people
around them listening at some kind
of gig. They are the centre of
attention with shiny clothes and
glittery things all around with the
lights on them making them look like
showmen from the start. They are
also happy and dancing with
everyone else.
It also gives a distinct feel to it which
daft punk always have, it does not
look real, it looks dreamlike with
bright colours and a edit to it so that
it feels it also they have a edited light
coming off them also, this fits the
genre as it is not trying to be serious,
instead it is trying to create music
which is easy to listen to and you can
dance to it.

I know you don’t get a chance to get a break or something
Shot Type
Analysis
Close up
1.16The close up is of Pharrell Williams
singing making it clear that he is the
singer and the rest are playing
instruments and back beat. He is also
wearing sunglasses indoors,
something which is usually used in
rap, but in this is used to make him
look sleek and they are a recognised
brand also, again making him look
sleek and smart.
It also has the other members in the
background still playing and he still
has the light shining off him and the
rest of the group.

Lose yourself to dance ,I know you don’t get a change to have
a break or something

2. Shot Type
Long shot, low angle, pan
Analysis
In this shot it is showing that
everyone in the audience is joining in
with the song and also they are on a
large platform and the camera is
making it look like they are all
holding them up. The low angle is
good because it shows the audiences
reaction and also the band at the top
and their hierarchy at this moment.
It shows they are the most important
people in the room at the time and
everyone appreciates them and
listens to them.
The shot also shows the audiences
facial expressions and they are all
happy making the watcher happy
also as it has positive vibes
throughout the video.
Lyrics
Lose yourself to dance, Party on the floor, party on the floor,
Loose yourself to dance!
Shot Type
Mid-shot
Analysis
4.01- In this shot near the end it is
showing the audience are dancing
together and changing their styles
and having a dance off with each
other. It is also showing the males
and females are connecting with
each other and dancing together
which also goes with this kind of
music as it is meant to be music you
can easily dance to, hence the name
of the song.
The shot also shows that these
people are dressed like normal
people and the band are dressed
smartly and are key to the whole
party/gig. The people look more
normal whereas the band look ‘god
like’ with the light coming from them
and them being much higher than
everyone else.
