Ne-Yo 'Beautiful Monster' Music Video Analysis

The very first shot shows a special effect with the artists hand movement. This implies that he has powers, which are shown further throughout the video. The second shot simply shows an extremely high angle shot while they are fighting with each other. This means that the people who are fighting are all vulnerable to getting hurt. By using this extreme shot it makes the audience feel closer to the action and so build up a closer relationship with the songs.
The third shot is again using special effects to represent special powers.
This shows a change in setting and a wider camera shot to show the new setting. From these shots the costume can also be clearly seen.
The next two shots show that this part of the music video has been edited to show that the woman is there one minute and is not there the next.
The seventh shot shows more special effects, however this time they are more obvious to the eye compared to the first shot; this could be showing that this person has more powers.
The last two shots are a change of setting; both with special effects of lighting techniques and fading. This video shows similar concepts to the first in the way that it mainly focuses on what the artist is doing. There is a wide range of camera shots and angles that are used, as well as differences in lighting.
