Research Into Types Of Shots

Leona Lewis-Bleeding Love

 

 

 

The song Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis is not directly the theme my group is going for. However, there are elements such as insecurities and suicide included in Bleeding Love which directly relate and link to my groups music video. This is my main reason for analysing this video.

 

The shots above are ones that I have picked out to include in the music video as they highlight the pain and deep depression evoked from the actresses. There are a variety of shots which I aim to achieve with my group.

 

 For example the shot of the actresses hand turning on the tap does not fully present her intentions as it may appear that she wants to take a bath. However, the next couple of shots present that the actresses aim is to drown herself as she still has her clothes on. This indicates that she is not going for a bath as it is irregular to bath with clothes on.

 

Furthermore, the close up of the actress in the bath showing her head slowly dipping in resulting her entire body to be underwater accentuates her intentions to drown and how her situation has taken control of her emotion and she can not take it anymore. This creates an extremely forlorn mood to the video and reiterates our theme and message behind our video.  

Lastly this picture presents the pain of the individual which is what my group aspires to achieve. This shot in particular interests me as it blurs the dark background out but focuses on the crying eyes of the actress which emphasizes her depression and sorrow. In addition I appreciate how well the actresses makeup is put together to make it appear as if she is genuinely crying so it is believeable to the audience.

This is exactly what my group is aiming to display in our music video to ensure the audience is understanding of the individuals insecurities and perhaps even relate to an extent.
