Slide 1: This is our powerpoint on 'Everlong' by the Foo Fighters.
Slide 2: This is the music promo that goes with the song, we will be using still for the music promo to show points and analyse them.
Slide 3: The mise-en-scene of the song is very different to other promos
that I've seen. In the first still you can see that the lighting is very low
key and also a coloured filter has been used to make it look boring. This could
reflect the fact that the ‘real world’ is boring and that nothing exciting
happens in it.
The mise-en-scene in the ‘dream world’ is visually different
compared to the ‘real world’. The ‘dream world is bright and colourful; It has
lots of things going on at one time. Compared to the ‘real world’, the dream
world is an exact opposite, this is evident especially when you can see the
costume, and they are styled to look like 80’s punk rock. This costume also
reflects the genre of the band and song that the Foo Fighters play.
Slide 4: The editing for the song is conventional and unconventional in places. When you see Dave lying in bed a graphical match is used to show how he falls asleep to the ‘dream world’, this is unconventional because usually straight cuts are used to show a progression in the narrative. As well there is a lot of surrealism used in the promo, like the massive hands that dave has. This more often used in the 'dream world' because you would expect more imaginay things like that.
Slide 5: The cinematography in the first screen grab shows a massive comparison to the second screen grap. This could show the different moods and emotions going on in the promo and could also represent how the 'real world' is different to the 'dream world'. As well the shots used to show the promo are very conventional. The main types of shot that are used at close-ups and mid-shots to show detail and there are also some pans and tracks to show the location, more evident in the opening when the camera goes up the stairs.

Slide 6: The narrative in the promo uses intertextuality to link it to Evil Dead, which can be seen in the first screen grab and a bit of Scooby Doo. Also the performance side of the promo is only used at the end where the whole band is present and they suddenly come out of the narrative and just play the song at the end.
Slide 7: The representations in the promo are very stereotypical but also unconventional. The main male character, Dave, is represented as being the hero because he comes in to the situation and rescues the female character, who is the damsel in distress. This makes the promo seem more story like and more entertaining to watch too.
