Music research 2: Warwick avenue - Duffy.

The video starts very dark and clouded, with rain spitted on the car window, this may connote that the music video, has a sad emotion rather than a happy emotion.
With a closeup shot the camera then concentrates on the star - Duffy's face. By the expression used on her face, she looks unhappy and fed up.
We then have a short blackout which sticks for about two secounds, this then slightly confuses us, the producer may want us to feel confused, as that may be how Duffy is feeling.
For quite a lot of the video the camera is used by a hand held shot , this is to get the feeling that Duffy is sat in the car as its moving.
As Duffys eyes are filling up with tears this then could display woman as emotional and sensitive.
Throughtout the music video she sings many different lyrics , they all match to what she is doing... e.g the line , " you hurt me bad " , she was obviously hurt by someone and whilst singing that shes crying, this then shows that the visuals do match along side the lyrics.
The colours used in the music video and all very bland, there isn't any happy bubbly colours, they are all plain and very bland.
Half way through the music video a camera shot is used to look down on Duffy as she reaches in her bag for a tissue. This may connote that because the camera is looking down on her that she is feeling down , eg. feeling low and fed up.


1)How do the visuals respond to the music?
The lyrics match well to what is being acted out in the music video, the lyrics which Duffy sings are sad and emotional , some people may see them as even hurtful. It matches well as she looks upset about what she is singing about.

2) To what extent does it follow a narrative?
The story is pretty simple, we can already see that this is about a young woman , who has been hurt due to love , it seems like it could of been a breakup, due to what is said within the lyrics. It also may show that females are not very strong emotionally as she is crying , most of the way through the video.

3) What kind of image is the star presenting?
The star is presenting an Image in which she is sensitive and emotional. It also shows that she is lonely , as she is singing to herself, she is also the only person in the video.

This is overall quite a boring music video, there isn't much to analyse as there isn't much going on, If I were to remake this music video, I would put in more movement. To make sure that the audience is still intrested in watching it.
