Contrast in Genres

In contrast to the heavier sounds of Architects, the video for Rick Astley's 'Never Gonna Give You Up' is a much more mellow affair. Here I will highlight the general differences between Metal and Pop videos.

• The pace of the song is slower so naturally so is the editing.
• There are no instruments so instead we focus on the singer in different locations and a random woman.
• The shot lengths are much longer which distances us from the action.
• It is more like he is performing for us rather than us partaking in the action.
• No instruments are shown due to the vocal driven nature of the track, so instead most of the time the camera shows Rick and his infamous dance moves.

In conclusion we are far more likely to tak influence from Architects and will not be including any of the dancing involved in 'Never Gonna Give You Up'.
