Relationship Between Visuals and Lyrics

In class we looked at the relationship between visuals and lyrics in the music video to the song 'No Rest' by Dry The River. After listening to the song we described what we thought the visuals would be then compared this the actual video.

Our visual predictions...
Charlie - Set on a farm within a old barn on a dull rainy day. It would start with the lead singer singing on his own then the rest of the band would join him within the barn. The video would be performance based.
Matt - The video would be set in a Asian city with a continuous tracking shot following the lead singer down the street. The rest of the band would join the lead singer as he walks down the street.
Connor - Set at the bands concert with the lad singer watching himself from within the crowd performing. The lead singer in the crowd meets a girl. The video will be performance based mainly with a narrative.
Jack - The band will be performing on top of a hill in the country side. Throughout the song the seasons are changing. This would cross cut to the lead singer going through a break up with a girl throughout the video.
Angel - The video is set in different locations focusing on the characters emotions. Everybody else in the video will be happy contrasting with the lead singer who would be looking unhappy and gloomy.
Georgia - The video would be of a band doing a live performance cross cutting to different people leaving their partners. This is to create a theme of 'goodbye' within the video.

 

After this we then analysed the lyrics of the song. After this we thought of different ideas for the music video to go with the lyrics that were less stereotypical. This is what we came up with...
