note on camera editing and mise en scene
Stop where you are video -
They use a range of shots from high angles to low angles and mid angles. Generally at the beginning there was a lot of mid angle shots close up to the singer and then the shots would change to another actor in the video and then return to the singer but from a different angle. during the beginning we get a lot of shots of the setting, of sides of buildings from low angles as well as the sky. We get a lot of shots of just the main singers feet walking and later on a shot of hands rubbing together. during the middle we get a high shot of a man sitting looking like his shouting or upset the high shot makes him look dismissive and almost be littles him however when the shot changes to a mid shot and a business looking man gives him a drink amd they are smiling and talking having a mid shot of them at the same level( as equals).
The setting is very dark and takes place in different areas of what looks like a flat, we are in a stairwell and walking around the outside of a building it has low key lighting majority of the time however at times when she is outside we get bit so f high key lighting behind. It looks like a poorer area which contrasts with the singers outfit which is bright red and she is dressed in a more fancy manner ( a dress and heels) for where she is and it contradicts the other actors outfits which are more casual.
The makeup is very natural and almost looks like no one is wearing any makeup. Their are little to no props it mainly focuses on the characters we are following.
