I got got your emails
You just don’t get females
Now, do you?
What’s in the heart
Is not on your head, anywhere.
Mate, you’re too late
And your weren’t worth the wait
Now, were you?
It’s out of my hands
Since you blew your last chance
When you played me
You’ll have to cry me out
You’ll have to cry me out
The tears that I’ll fall
Mean nothing at all
It’s time to get over yourself
Baby, you ain’t all that
Maybe, there’s no way back
You can keep talking
But, baby, I’m walking away
When I found out
How you messed me about
I was broken
Back then I believed you
Now, I don’t need you, no more
The pick on your phone
Proves you weren’t alone
She was with you, yeah
Now, I couldn’t care
That you weren’t aware
We’re through
You’ll have to cry me out
You’ll have to cry me out
The tears that I’ll fall
Mean nothing at all
It’s time to get over yourself
Baby, you ain’t all that
Maybe, there’s no way back
You can keep talking
But, baby, I’m walking away
Gonna have to cry me out
Gonna have to cry me out
Boy, there ain’t no doubt
Gonna have to cry me out
Won’t hurt a little bit
Boy, better get used to it
You can keep talking
But, baby, I’m walking away
(spoken) Listen, I got the emailsI got the text
The answer’s still the same
It’s the way it is
I got to go
You’ll have to cry me out
You’ll have to cry me out
The tears that I’ll fall
Mean nothing at all
It’s time to get over yourself
Baby, you ain’t all that
Maybe, there’s no way back
You can keep talking
But, baby, I’m walking away
You’ll have to cry me out
You’ll have to cry me out
The tears that I’ll fall
Mean nothing at all
It’s time to get over yourself
‘Cause baby, you ain’t all that
Maybe, there’s no way back
You can keep talking
But, baby, I’m walking away

two minute music video analysis
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uVNj8F9Kfw
I have chosen to analyse this video as it is a recent song and fits into the pop/ r n b genre.
The video starts with a close up of Busta Rhymes wearing glasses and singing to the camera. The background is black with blue lazers/strobe lights giving it a disco/pop feel. The camera stays still but continues to focus on a close up of his face whilst he moves his head as he sings and the lights flash in the background.
The camera then pans out to display to the audience the other artist who is featured in the song (Estelle) who is in a box to the right of the screen. She is within this box also dressed in black just like Busta Rhymes. The background is orange and then changes to pink. The lyrics in the song are “make the world go round” which is written above her head, reinforcing the title of the song. As she dances from side to side the camera follows this giving it a hand held feel.
A quick edit and zoom out of the camera cuts to another scene of her and what appears to be Busta Rhymes dancing back to back. They are both in another box which is framed off centre. The way this is shot suggests that they are on a screen, perhaps a mobile phone. Chinese writing is on either side of these artists with the writing “Feat. Estelle” underneath where they are performing.
Another quick edit then cuts to an extreme close up of Busta Rhymes mouth. Again Chinese writing can be seen on either side. The way this is shot is as though we are watching them on another screen, for example a television. Following this another quick edit changes the scene, to what appears to be a magazine cover. Again this has Chinese writing on it, with English writing (lyrics) appearing as he sings, for example, “better than ever” and “back with a vengeance.” This scene is performance based with a close up of him singing to the camera; still wearing black and concealing his eyes with dark glasses.
This magazine theme continues as the camera rapidly pans the right to same image of Busta Rhymes singing, however, this is in a smaller frame, similar to picture size, suggesting that this picture is in the inside page of the magazine. The camera zooms in on other various pictures of the artist singing on the page, resuming with the Chinese theme.
A quick edit cuts to a medium shot of Estelle and Busta dancing, appearing to be on the magazine cover still. The writing moves and the camera slowly pans out as Busta continues to sing to the camera with the background colours occasionally changing. A further quick edit shows another close up of Busta singing on the front of a magazine cover which is then, picked up by him and fanned back and forth towards the camera.
The colours of the background continue to change, the camera also prolongs to panning in and out of different images of the artists singing. Another quick edit then frames both artists together on screen (as Estelle is the one who sings the chorus) through a midshot. Quick edits also show visuals matching with the lyrics, for example, as it says “bottles popping” the camera focuses on a bottle of Champaign with the cork being popped and over spilling, also as the lyrics about money can be heard, cash falls around them. The movements of the camera also match with lyrics as when they sing “world goes round” the camera rigidly moves as they do. The theme of magazine covers and Chinese writing continues. However, when a quick edit cuts to the next seen Busta Rhymes is dressed in a different costume, similar to that of military style. He is still wearing dark glasses connoting to the audience that this may be some sort of fashion statement.
This music video keeps a very similar theme throughout; that is the magazine layout, the Chinese writing and the costume. Visual codes are displayed on the screen to reinforce the audience of the lyrics. It is quite a colourful video, which differs from the idea for our one, which will be in black and white. There is not a wide range of camera angles, the most popular one being a close up. However, there are some on screen graphics, such as the moving writing, the money and snow floating around them and the magazine layouts. It fits the convention of the video focusing on the performance of the artist and them looking direct at the camera, addressing the audience.
