Music Video Analysis

The mise-en-scene of our production like the costume represents Jimi himself and the era he was from, because during the late 1960s rock stars and normal people alike dressed in this kind of fashion, and although the moustache is quite exaggerated, and probably not very representative of Jimi Hendrix as a whole, we feel this has been done very well. The costume can be interpreted as a comic device however, this was not intentional as this was the only costume we could find, and the performance itself is very serious indeed, even though in parts David looks fed up, due to the cold weather which could add to this unintentional comic value.

The performance, although not quite to Jimi Hendrix's level of expertise does the job nicely, as we managed to get some very good guitar poses that looked similar to Jimi Hendrix and our use of lighting helped make it look "epic". We also used the scenery as a way of showing what the hippie movement of the time would have liked to have used for what they did, like camping and music festivals which Jimi would have played at.
