I have chosen this video as it is similar in the way it expresses emotion out of the sound. It is a depressing song, probably more than the one we have chosen however i feel it would be a beneficial song to analyse for use towards our chosen track. This particular song is a performance narrative about women being treated badly by men and in turn watching them cry in the streets.
Starts off with a women walking down a street. MS
Cuts to a man walking from the opposite direction. MS
Cuts back to the women, now crying. MS
Cuts back to the man. MS
Cuts to a close up of her feet. CU
Cuts to the man walking past the women crying. MS
Cuts back to the women crying, slightly closer to her face but not yet a closeup. MS
Cuts to Daniel Merriweather singing with just his face on screen. CU
Cuts back to a midshot of him sitting on a chair with a women to the left of him. MS
Cuts back to the close up of his face. CU
Cuts to three people cycling down the street. The woman at the front of the three is crying. MS
Cuts to behind them where the man is walking past from the first few cuts. he turns to see them pass him then walks into the camera. MS
Cuts to close up of the mans face walking still. CU
Cuts to him walking across the street from a sidewards view. MS Pan
Cuts to a close up of his feet walking through cartoon tears.CU
Cuts to him on the phone, looking like he has just received bad news. MS
Cuts to another man on the phone in an alleyway. MS
Close up of the lady who walked past him, crying. CU
Midshot of Daniel singing again part of the verse. MS
It cuts quickly to a close up of him singing. CU
Two quick cuts of him spinning slowly on his chair first from a close up to a midshot then back to the midshot of him singing. MS, CU, MS
More quick cuts of him moving then a cut to a man walking into a shop. MS
Cuts to a close up of another women crying. All the tears are in cartoon. MS, CU
Cuts to Daniel singing again. CU
Cuts to man sitting down and then to the woman crying looking at him. MS, CU
Cuts to another random woman crying. MS
Cuts to her tears on the table. CU
Cuts to man looking at the woman crying at the till. MS
Close up of her crying. CU
Cuts back to Daniel singing. CU
Cuts to a flood of cartoon tears flowing out the door. MS
Cuts to Daniel looking away from the camera. CU
Cuts back to tears flowing out of windows. MS
Cuts to just one window flooding tears. CU
Cuts to tears flooding down the streets. MS
Cuts to man walking down the road. MS
Cuts to woman crying on bench then the flood of tears flowing past her. MS
Cuts to her crying. CU
Cuts to taxi driving through flood. MS
Cuts to Daniel singing in a flooded bar. MS
Tears full from sky in time with the music. MS
Cuts to Daniel singing then back to tears falling from the sky. MS, MS
Cuts to a close up of a cars wheel driving through the tears. CU
Close up of male driver. CU
Another close up of car then to the male driver again. CU, CU
Cuts to angle behind car. CU
Cuts to Daniel singing with a light behind him which looks similar to sunlight. CU
I have analysed two minutes of this video and from it i can see where we can get some ideas from. There are many scenes where we just see the girls face and expression so maybe in our video we can incorporate some of this in. This will help us convey a saddened mood throughout the video we create. I also found the use of technology interesting such as the tear drop effects that were used to create cartoon tears. I believe they did this to emphasise the meaning and emotion this song has. For instance, you wouldn't be able to get the same affect with just normal tears as you wouldn't be able to see them as well or have the flood of tears at the end which i think was very effective for getting across the message of the song. I think for us to be this effective in our video, we will need to have one general theme in the video, not many. This should hopefully provide more understanding for the audience viewing the video we will create.
