The 'Who' - My Generation Textual Analysis

I analysed this music video because our group is focusing around the genre 'Folk Music.' The band 'The Who' produced recordings and music videos based around this genre. The groups 'My Generation' was a hit. The music video incorporated a flash back of the singers at recording at a younger age. The music video also emphasises the childhood of each group member, then suddenly cutting back to the previous day of their lives. The mise en scene included in the music video features props such as, youthful clothing - jackets, and silly props such as flowers being thrown at other group members. The location of the narrative shots are set in a forrest. The combination of the mise en scene, and the location of this music video, relates well with our 'folk' theme. This is because our music video will incorporate a similar scenario of slightly immature characters, and filming in a lively place, such as a forest.
