Influential Music Video Analysis- AfterGlow



The Music Video for AfterGlow is not a music video that goes directly with the conventions, its not something we would see in a every day music video. This music video has no miming throughout the video, however it has narrative. The video tells a story of what the couple have done over there time together. This is what links the lyrics to the video, because there is no miming they have used varied shots to keep the viewer interested. The main difference in this video in comparison to the other music video is the use of titles throughout the song. in each different shot of the video there is a title this title will be explaining the shot  e.g..






these tell the story within the video without having miming in the video. the use of doing this makes the video more relatable as we believe in to be true.The video does not follow the codes and conventions of   traditional music video however the video still explored the conations of sex through props ad movement and therefore doesn't follow good wins theory of voyeurism. there are no shots of the star dancing or exploiting themselves to please the male viewers.
