The lyrics in this song is illustrated. The song ties in
with the lyrics and the visuals it links into the story line. The lyrics tell
the story of what the visuals display. There isn’t any repetition of the
visuals and the actual video however the lyrics are repeated a lot during the
music video. This song would be labelled as a singer song writer type of music
video due to some of its characteristics. The story line which is shown by imagery
emphasising the lyrics. It relates to 1940, the outfits of the actors that they
are wearing and presented. There is consistency between sound and the cinematography.
One shot was very shaky which didn’t match was displayed at the time, making it look like an accidental mistake. The lighting however at the wedding is bright and gives the correct impression of it being a happy environment of something new however the funeral had the same lighting therefore it causes confusion as a viewer. Plenty of close ups, to show her feelings and emotions in a close up shot s that it is easy to see her present facial expressions. There is an extreme close up of the wedding ring. It also broke the 180 degree rule which looked quite out of place. The lighting also conveys a romantic atmosphere.
The editing during the music video is very subtle as it is a slow process, this could relate to what is being shown as it is meant to be smooth as is marriage.
The intertextuality isn’t huge within this music video as
there is only one piece of where the wonderland book “Alice in Wonderland” is
shown. This may be that it was in the same time of what this music video was
set in which was 1940.
There is no artiste in this video, there is no one which is shown as the artiste. There was no performance in this video it was all narrative you were lead through by the story. This music video has the same/similar video set out as an Ed Sheeran music video, the same with the lyrics they are of a similar type of situation/visual.
There was no objectification, also known as the male gaze. She may have been aspirational as she is very glamorous, some girls or women may look to her as a model. As for representation, she is shown as very done up and well educated. Back in 1940 type theme settings she fitted in well.
It is used to entertain us and help us escape our daily lives.
