Director: Jonathan Entwistle
Release Date: 1st Febuary 2015
Length of video: 3 minutes 34 seconds
Number of shots in entire video: 65 shots approxomitely
Average length of shot: It varied quite vastly from 10 seconds to less than a second.
Number of shots in 30 second segment: 5 shots
Within the 30 second segment there are:
Throughtout the first 30 seconds and the entire music video, the viewer is made to feel as if we are watching her but she cant not see us.
long shot,Long take :Begins showing the girl walk in through the front door in a messy school uniform. She is calling out for her mum, there is no responce. She walks down the corridor towards the camera and the camera pans to follow to girl walk into the kitchen. The long take of this suggest that she is tired and worn out and she drags herself through the hall. There is also a sense of antisipaction as we know nothing as a viewer. we are encouraged to think where she is going? and what has happenend to her?
close up, short take : Shows a note on the side reading "Working late (again) sorry. Dinner is in the oven". The shot shows the girls fingers slowly touch the note and move it slightly. This gives a sense of repetition, as if this happens all the time and she is left isolated and alone. Straight away we feel sympothy for the little girl.
mid shot, long take: we are able to see the entire kichen. It is small and packed with not much moveable space at all, this suggest that they are not particularly wealthy. She moves away from the note towards the oven. She opens the oven door to find a heated ready meal. This suggest no effort on mum's part, leaving her to unhealthy easy dinners. The young girl looks at it with slight disgust then places it on the side.
close up, short take: There is straight cut to the young girl walking through a very dimly lit hall way into her bedroom. To do this they used a jump cut.
From this process I have learnt that it is usefull the begin a music video by drawing the viewer in slowly, give them hints of information but not too much. Allow them to create their ow thought process on it.
