Music Video Analysis
Pink - Perfect

2. Cinematography
 The music video opens with a close up of a female
character shown to be staring at a teddy bear. It then
cuts to a gradual close up of the teddy bear which
implies that she has some form of connection with it
which is later shown in the next shot where we see a
cross fade of past memories relating to the teddy bear.
 The artist is also introduced in a mid shot lip-syncing.
Close ups and extreme close ups of her face are used to
add emotion to match the lyrics ‘misplaced,
misunderstood’.
 Furthermore, the audience are able to identity that she
is narrating a journey of her life through the music
video as we continue to see more cross fades of one
main female character. We first see the character as a
little girl however through the cross fades she
progresses in age. Cross fades are a typical way of
showing the passing of time.

3. Settings and Props
 The characters used throughout the music
videos have are dressed and styled in order
to create stereotypical characters.
 Children: Casual clothing in a school
environment with several other school kids
around them. Props such as teddy bears and
typical school lunch benches are used to
reinforce this.
 Teacher: Glasses, cardigan, skirt. Telling off
child portrays typical teacher.
 Teenager: We are introduced to the teenage
girl being told off by her mum, which is how
most teenagers are viewed as getting into
trouble by their parents. She is also going
through the faze of wearing make bold up
and having an odd teenager fashion sense.

4. Locations
Throughout the music video, there are many locations which are used as
we see flashbacks. These are projected onto the walls of an empty room
pink is stood in lip syncing.
Locations of flashbacks include:
 School playground
 School nursery
 Bedroom of teenager
 Secondary school playground
 Classroom
 Lockers
 Clothes store
 Bathroom
 Club

5. Editing
The music video follows a very simple style of editing a there are only
transitions and filters used. The use of filters creates an ages look to the
clip connoting that this is a flashback.
Furthermore, cross fades are used to create passing of time as clips go
from flash-to-flashback.
