Mr Saxobeat | Alexandra Stan | 2011

The name of my next song and music video is MR SAXOBEAT by Alexandra Stan and published in 2011.  The song was written and produced by Marcel Prodan and Andrei Nermirchi.  The style of this song is quite rebellious as it is set in a police station and they are brought in, in handcuffs.  The music video conventions that are in this video are:

-There is a relationship between the lyrics and the visuals for example when she is seducing the incompetent police officer to free her.

-There is a relationship between the music and the visuals, one example after each beat in the instrumental there are close ups when they dance as well as at the start with the sax solo on every beat.

-Alexandra Stan has her own iconography in this video as a rebellious person that the police struggle with.  

-In this song there are a lot of closeups in this video and they appear on every beat now and again.

-In the video there is no use of voyeurism or Intertextual references.

The genre of this song is pop, so there is a lot of dancing as it is common in pop songs.  Alexandra also sings while she is performing.

As said before she uses iconography as a rebellious person and also shows she is independent.

There are three main locations in this video, there are the main police office, the interrogation room and the cell.  In the main police office, this is used for the intro and outro of the song as she comes in chains and comes out free.  The interrogation room is where she is costing the police a lot of time and annoys them.  Then there is the cell where she is locked up and becomes free by seducing an officer.

The use of camerawork in this video is great with how the shot changes on every beat.  There are a lot of close upshots but aslo a lot of long shots, there are a few mid shots as well. 

This is a close up shot in the interrogation room.

This is a a closeup while she is dancing.

This is a long shot of the trio escaping.
