Ellie Goulding - Burn (Club/Snythopop analysis)


This was a few notes I have done in lesson when we were watching this video.

Personally I really like Ellie Gouldings ‘Burn’ video, the opening scene of the landscape and the time of day it as shot at makes it feel very warm. I think the setting works perfectly for this song, usually a song of this genre would be in a club or somewhere very stereotypical, I think the fact it is shot in a woodland area and is very in touch with nature adds a different feel to the video, it makes it more relatable and something that the target audience of young adults would want to experience. The young adults jumping gates and fences to get somewhere adds anticipation and infers that they are escaping and getting freedom and just enjoying themselves again I think this engages with the audience well. This is a ‘feel good’ song and the video reflects this effortlessly.

The video has a very calm and tranquil feel at the start of the video, this is due to setting and the time of day it has been shot in, it has a very warm feel.  The video moves from day to night and then in the night this is when light is focused on throughout, coming from the darkness into the light. The entire video emits joy and happiness.

Ellie Golding is one of the main focuses in the video, the video is not selling the song but her as an artist and at the end all the lights that had been built up by the characters featured show her logo, which is promoting her as an artist. The music reflects the genre (pop/synthpop) well because it is a feel good song and the video focuses on light, being with friends and living in the moment which tends to be the focus in the videos of this genre.
