The music video produced by Little Mix for their single 'Wings' is typically bright, colourful and girly. As each member of the band are pictured on their own, their personality is bought out through the background behind them, consisting of flowers for Perrie Edwards, bows for Leigh-Anne Pinnock, old-style radios for Jesy Nelson, and graffiti for Jade Thirlwall. We interpret these images into our perception of them individually. This shoes that each member of the group is different and has their own skills and flair to bring to the group, hence why they work so well as a group, they do not clash. This is also shown through their dancing, they each have an individual style of dance yet it still looks good when they are all dancing and performing together. When the group are singing together the cuts are very quick and sharp, averaging at around a cut every 2-3 seconds. Although when they are doing a solo part the camera keeps them in the limelight for around 8 seconds, although the background does change to a dark setting with blue lights after 5 seconds. A regular occurrence in the pop genre, which is shown in this music video is where the screen is separated into 4 squares and the same person features in all 4 squares then it flicks to another person on one square until they fill up all 4 squares. This can occasionally happen with 3 sections as well, with a long shot of someone filling up half the screen then 2 additional blocks of someone else, but the two squares feature the same person. This is shown in the image in the top right hand corner, however, this features all 4 of the band members instead. You can also see the colourful backgrounds behind each of the girls in the image which is typically pop, appealing to mainly teenage girls. As they will be able to identify with the group, interpret the lyrics into their every-day lives usually, and will be attracted to this music video as bright colours are something that draw in their attention. Therefore, generally this music video is aimed to appeal to teenage girls, which is shown throughout.
