Video Analysis


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pisxp5Gi3co


When initially looking closely into 'Falling Short' the music video, I noticed how it was one continuous movement (one shot), and it is all shot in 'black and white'. After watching the video, I was then also drawn to the idea of using a filter throughout my video, but then realised that I want to be able to boldly express the uses of light and shadow and will therefore need my shots in bold colour.



However, the whole concept around 'hand movements' as seen at the beginning of the video (mostly) is an idea that I would like to explore further in my own piece. However again, I will link this vision into my original idea so it is able to slot in and fit within my theme effectively. 



I especially like the tenderness used in the picture to the left in particular, as it is almost as if Låpsley handles all of her 'weight' or 'burden's' with care and with ease in this video.

Another thought process of mine was the image of reaching, as predominantly seen in the second image. The males hand is reaching for something unknown, and Låpsley's is the supportive hand in this case.


These next two images focus heavily on the idea of a burden of some sort, either mentally or physically that Låpsley is seen to carry. Within my music video I would like to also portray this same trail of thought, as I believe it is important to re-use and replicate aspects of the original video, just in a different way and so it fits in more with what I want to convey too. 









Låpsley's overall look and facial expressions explore insane amounts of deep thought and emotion. The screenshots that I have carefully selected really represent this I feel, as three out of the four images picture the artists eyes looking downwards which immediately promotes emotions of sadness and hurt. Therefore, I have also chosen to capture my models facial expressions to the same extent as Låpsley's.
