Video Analysis 1

The first music video I am going to analysis is Abba's 'Super Trouper'.

ABBA were a Swedish pop group formed in Stockholm in 1970 which consisted of Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Agnetha Fältskog. They became one of the most commercially successful acts in the history of pop music, topping the charts worldwide from 1972 to 1982.

This music video follows the typical conventions of a music video, it begins with a light shining down onto the singers and the whole video is their performance of the song. There isn't a narrative and the only match on action is at the beginning when the woman sing 'beams are gonna blind you' and there is a man shining a spot light at the camera which then dissolves into the performers singing.
