Textual
analysis: Pompeii- Bastille (Music video)
Hey
everyone!
Today I'm
analysing the music video of "Pompeii" which is sung & written by
one of my favourite bands "Bastille"
I chose
this music video mainly because i am very interested in the music genre but
also because the music video of this song has a story behind it. In the music
video Dan is escaping from the people with black eyes, Who were probably
interpreting supernatural demons in the video. Then when he is in his car, he
discovers that he's becoming a ''demon'' too so he doesn't know what to do. It
is also based on how the volcano eruption destroyed the town pompeii and the
song raises awareness on how people are still destroying towns however they are
doing it by littering and building lots
of new buildings rather than keeping the town in its own natural form (as you
can see in the video). He is basically asking how we fix this? "Where do I
start, with myself, or the mess around me?" He then ends up in a desert
and the video ends there. To find out how the story goes on, watch their
''Flaws'' video which is the continuation of Pompeii.
Genre:
The clip I
have chosen is a music video.
The music
genre of this song is Pop/Rock
Audience:
The age
group of the target audience is mainly 15-25 year olds.
I think it
would suit this age range because pop & rock music is one of the most
common music genres that people from the age of 15 to 25 would listen to.
The
percentage of male audience is probably 60% because rock music is more
appealing to the male gender than the female gender.
Therefore
the other 40% would be the female audience .
The clip
is mainly aimed at the fans of the group but also people interested in pop/rock
music.
Platform:
The music
video of this song could be seen on:
MTV,
Television,
Youtube.
Phone.
