Video analysis, Nirvana - In Bloom

Music video analysis

1st video, Nirvana – in bloom



This video is a performance based video, it is black and white all the way through which gives it an old fashioned image.

The story line is quite bizarre as it is normal at the beginning and then towards the end turns into two separate stories where the band is playing the same gig but in two different styles, one style is calm where the band are wearing suits the second style see’s the band in dresses jumping around and destroying everything. This goes with the grunge scene, as everything is
dark and aggressive.

The video is quite comical with the cheesy American tv show at the beginning.

The shots throughout the film are very simple and long, there are lots of wide shots where the entire band is in view and then a few medium shots of just single members.

The transitions are mainly straight cuts, towards the end the camera changes are like old fashions slides or fast panning and the camera changes change on the beat of the song.
