Chase and Status-TimeMusic video analysis

I'm going to print screen and analyze the screen shots. They will include various angles and what influence they give to our group.

We have this actual scene in our music video. It’s to show the difference between their happy home life and when she is being

domestically abused. It’s a wide shot, and the audience can establish that they are at nice family home.

This video is different from others as it shows domestic abuse from various different people’s view all in 3 minutes. This is the women who is being abused daughter. From the video it looks as if she is more left out then other family members. There are various shots that are close-ups of the artist singing. The close-ups portray her emotion as upset, confused and worried. However she is also in shots that are narrative to emphasise this as well as preformative (singing). In the bottom photo it’s her putting headphones in which suggests she doesn’t want to hear what’s going on. There are tears on her face which might mean she isn’t sure what to do.

A lot of the shots are over the shoulder or from a lower angle so that the man looks more dominant. This means that the lady who is being abused looks more innocent and helpless. The staircase is purposely open so that she can fall down it, however in our houses, stairs aren’t like this. If we were to duplicate this, the lighting wouldn’t be as good. However to have a bigger percentage of the man looking more powerful is a good idea.

In this part of the video the camera flashes back from two different scenes frequently and all within a short amount of time. This looks good because it shows a realistic example of a domestic abuse relationship. We want to have a similar theme in our video. Where it shows the couple happy and sad at other times. Again the man seems more dominant even when they are happy.

We want this exact shot in our music video. A over the shoulder shot of the

girl covering up a bruise. As it is a close-up you can see from the emotions on

her face that she is upset and unhappy.

This a over the shoulder shot of him kissing her back. On her back she has a bruise. This shot makes it look as if he feels remorseful. On our video we wanted to show a screen shot however this is also a good idea to show that he knows he’s violent towards her and can’t help her.
