Analysis of Dani California by Red Hot Chili Peppers

For this analysis of Dani California, we were instructed to put the headings Genre Signifiers, Image and Mise-en-scene, we had a limited time to complete the analysis. Me and Katie worked as a group in order to identify the genres in which were being shown in the different clips, then to state what signified the genre to us, furthermore we identified the imagery and what we interpreted to be the meaning behind it. Also, in reference to mise-en-scene, we identified key colours and props, in which made the video a certain genre or contributed.

The reason for carrying out this task was to help us to begin to understand what signifies a certain genre of music and in addition, this helped me and Nicole to gain a better perspective of which genre we would like to use for our music video.
