Oasis Wonderwall - Video Analysis

There is no specific story to this music video, only a few objects and people that symbolise the chorus and name of the song. They use kind of circus people and objects to represent the wonderwall that they are singing about. Overall i think that this video might have been relating to the band on a personal level rather then the audience.

The lighting of this video is all in black and white so it is hard to distinguish specific types of key and back lighting that would aid this video. The lighting did help the audience to view the different scenes that were taking place in this video. The camera shots tended to be a lot of close-ups and medium long shots. This was because the band wanted the audience to focus on specific objects and people.

The performance was mostly of Noel Gallagher and the band playing. A lot of the shots were of Noel singing and then there were other cut offs to random shots that involved some form of band member playing their instrument or of something circus related. There are not a lot of shots that present much of a performance for this video. These shots represent people being his wonderwall.

The costume of these band members is quite casual and the main singer almost looks like the portrayal of John Lennon.
