Opener 2(d): The Beatles

"Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," The Beatles

Bianca suggests that we analyze the different color effects and how they correspond with the slow, melodic music in the background. Also, notice the characters in the video and how they relate to the song.

With a video as crazy as this one is, it is easy to get really hung up on the "what does it mean?" side of things, but don't. Instead, focus more on the left side of things, your description and characterization of the things you see and hear. Inference work can be saved for the end of your paragraph, some gentle suggestion of possible themes or tonal values you have sensed here.

Another option is to compare and contrast the style and effects of this video with Air's video for "Sing Sang Sung."
