Tracey Chapman - Fast Car (analysis)


 

· There is a stage used so this is a performance based music video.

· The guitar is used throughout the song which keeps it ticking over at a slow pace.

· She is singing into a microphone.

· Once again even though she is a female she has a rustic voice.

· Steal pans are an exotic instrument that is used in this video.

· Spotlights highlight her as the main person on stage.

· We constantly see the audience in this music video.

· The colour blue is used heavily in this video to set the mood of the song and the performance.

· Hand clapping is quite influential in this live performance.

Sound

· The guitar and the drums are the most significant instruments within this video.

· There is a strong sense of clapping along to the beat from the audience which adds even more affect to the actual performance.

· There are only a few cords used on the guitar which makes it very simplistic.

· Once again a rustic voice.

· There is always a steady drum beat and there are hardly any big climaxes in the actual song.

Camera shot and movements

· Close ups of Tracy are used throughout but there are mid shots and long shots which are used to show the intensity if the stage and to show that even though the band is up on stage with her she is still quite alone.

Editing

· There are minimal cuts in this video and if there are they are only straight cuts.
