Evaluation of Two Fingers - Jake Bugg

Director - Jamie Thraves
Artist - Jake Bugg
Year - 2012

Category - I think it is mainly a narrative video as for the majority of the video it is telling the story of Jake Bugg's upbringing and life which gradually improves and then finishes with a few shots of him performing on stage so this is why I would class it as a performance/narrative music video.


Visual techniques used - The lighting and mood at the start of the video is quite dark and almost grimey as it shows a bus going past and a street sign. Then throughout the video as the music pace increases so does the brightness of the video and the quality of the shots, almost as if the happiness in the video is increasing as it progresses.


Visuals within the song - The visuals in the song definitely reflect the meaning of the song as it is a song about childhood domestic abuse and the artist escaping this life and moving on. In the visuals we are shown the domestic abuse of two parents fighting and drinking and the artist, Jake Bugg, packing a abat and walking away from the situation.

  1. Again, no video embedded, and analysis that lacks enough detail for this level. You need to be specific about techniques and about conventions. Which of the 7 Andrew Goodwin conventions apply here? Give examples and show that you have analysed it in detail and not just in overview..

  2. Overall, I'm finding your initial blog work to be a bit wanting.. not enough detail and no embedded videos to illustrate what you're talking about. Please make these improvements this week - as we go into the assessed pieces of work, this standard isn't going to cut it I'm afraid.
