Paramore

The second Paramore video I decided to analyse is called Playing God.
This video was released after the media had stopped criticising Hayley for being the only reason that Paramore became successful.
Majority of this video was shot in Hayley's house itself, I guess this was a way of her getting back to the negative media comments by showing that she doesn't mind her personal space being shown.

Here is the video



In this video the light bulb is used again, it is inter textual between the two videos. Instead of Hayley keeping hold of the light bulb herself, she has tied down her fellow band members and placed the light bulb on top of them. This is probably to show the media that she doesn't want all of the limelight, and is willing to share it with the band. She is only seen as the main person in Paramore by fans because she is the lead singer, not many people take into account the names of the musicians and are only concerned with the singers.

Throughout this video Hayley Williams seems to show two sides of herself. One being really friendly and inviting and the other being a serious, dangerous and revenge seeking person. This may have been done to show that she is generally a really nice person but if people have negative points of view towards her, she can be evil and turn angry. (But who doesn't do that?)

Analysis Until We Are Able To Film

Due to fresh snowfall and further forecasts of snow it has become very difficult to continue filming due to continuity problems.
So, in the meantime I thought it may be useful to analyse more music videos.
The two videos I am going to analyse are both by the Punk Rock band 'Paramore'.
I have chosen to analyse these music videos because of the lead singer of the band, Hayley Williams.
Hayley has been widely targeted by the media because they say that she is the sole reason for the success of Paramore.
The first video I am going to analyse is for the song called Ignorance.



Here is the video; as you can see, it is set in a small dark room, in which the band is all squashed together with minimal movement space. The main thing to consider about this video the the lighting, as the only light for the most of this video comes from a single light bulb.
Throughout the whole of the video Hayley Williams has control of the light bulb and seems to keep it towards herself for most of the time, occasionally, she moves it towards her band members but it is just for a matter of seconds and people do not really tend to notice it.
Hayley is also placed higher up compared to the rest of the band members to show that she is supreme and leads the band. You can see Hayley as tries to get herself higher and touching the ceiling of the room.
