Avicii - Music Video Analysis

The artist i have chose to analyse is known as Avicii however his real name is Tim Bergling. Avicii is a well known DJ who produces house music, however many of his tracks are soft house which is the genre that my group have decided to research before creating our own soft house music video. The labels that Avicii is associated with are Island, LE7ELS, VIicious, Big Beat, Ultra, Capital, Joia, UMG and Terminal Recordings. The first music video that i will be analyzing is Wake Me Up.

Wake Me Up was part of Avicii's True Album. True is the debut studio album by Swedish DJ Avicii. It was released on 13 September 2013 through PRMD Music and Universal Island. Wake Me Up is produced by Avicii however American sould singer Aloe Blacc gives uncredited vocals for the song. The acoustic guitar player of the song is Mike Einziger. Wake Me Up was part of the True album however it was released on 17th June 2013. The official video for "Wake Me Up!" was released onto YouTube on 29 July 2013. The writers of the music video are Tim Bergling (Avicii), Aloe Blacc, Aileen Quinn and Mike Einziger. The producers of the music vidoe are Avicii, Arash Pournouri and Mike Shinoda. The music video is under the Labels of PRMD and Universal Island.

 The video itself is 4 minutes and 32 seconds long with around 146 scenes used within the video. Knowing this is helpful as it allows our group to have the chance to recreate a more realistic and professional looking video.A short summary of the music video would be that it is about a girl who goes to an Avicii concert.
