9 Frame Analysis

This is a 9 frame analysis of the song Brimful of Asha by Cornershop.  Throughout the song the band are seen playing to the song but moving on album covers they have made, this is seen in screenshots 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 9. Screenshot 3 shows the names of the members in the band with the lead singer singing next to it on the album cover with a girl dancing to it in the background.  It promotes the band and shows how many are in it. Screenshots 7 and 8  show how many records they've got and showing one of them being played on an old fashioned record player which were more popular when the song was released. The fact that there is a girl dancing to the music portrays the audience this song is aimed at, young teenagers and on screen shot 4 we see a mixture of the girl dancing and the record playing at the same time to show they are connected in some way. In screenshot 3 the the lead singer is seen on the record package and his name is at the top of the list showing he is the main person in the band and the most recognizable by the audience and fans. Screen shot 5 shows a band member playing a traditional Indian instrument, a sitar, this shows the background of the band because they are of Indian heritage. Also screen shots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9 show the editing that's been used in the video to show each band member playing/singing to show the audience who is in the band and what they do within it, it also promotes their other albums as they are edited upon cases of their other albums. The band members that are not as well known as the lead singer are silhouetted in there points in the music video e.g. screen shot 5 and 6 this to me shows although they are an important member of the band they aren't as important as the lead singer who isn't silhouetted when he appears in the music video, screen shot 9 also proves my point as the lead singer is in the foreground and the other group members are in the background.
