Music video analysis (textual analysis) (Video 1)



Video 1: War of Change, Thousand Foot Krutch.
The bands genre is hard rock, which is clearly represented in this song and video.  For example, it features the heavy guitar riffs and aggressive drumming, along with a mixture of soft and growly vocals. A feature I like is how the camera slowly zooms towards a woman doing a strange pose. When Trevor (lead vocalist) starts singing, he starts to fade onto the camera while looking directly into it. This makes it look like he is actually staring into the viewers eyes. This includes many features, but the one I like the most is how the camera zooms up close to Trevor's face while he screams and holds a lightbulb to his face.
The lightbulb makes half his face look lighter than the other half, which could be representing the two sides of him in the war inside he is singing about.
