Music Research 3: Breakeven , The script.

I have decided to analyse , Breakeven, By the script as my last video , for my reseach. I believe that this video is very similar to how I want mine to look at the end of the project.
The first thing that I will be anaylsing is the camera shots and movement, there are many different angles and shots used in this video such as, a closeup shot of the emotion on his face, when he is singing about " A heart never breaks even". This then represents the male as being emotional. We can tell he is finding it hard in this video, just by the expression on his face. We can also see that the girl who he used to be with he was obviously very passionate about her.

Another shot used is when there is a long shot of the male and the female sat in the sunset together. The female gets up and walks away. This connotes that she doesn't want to be sat with him and by the lyrics , " because shes moved on" , this then matches the visuals to the lyrics, its almost as if its telling a story , this could be seen as amplyfying.



Something else which suggests the emotion of this video isn't too good is the fact that the majority of the video is in black and white. This then shows a dull perspective on how the male and female get on now. Compared to when its all in colour when he is having flashbacks of them as a couple.



There are also many over the shoulder shots, as when the male is walking away , so is the female and its alomost like the are using the line of interaction to look back and forth at eachother. There is also an angle which is looking down on to the male , like in the Duffy video, it may be looking down on him because he's feeling sad.

The set varies, some of the set is outside and some is inside, where ever the male seems to be , he looks lonely and sad, unless he is with the female. The lighting is also very dark , which we could then link back to the emotions. We could also link it to one pacific line in the lyrics. The mmale sings, " Im falling to pieces" , The dark colours and the dark atmosphere may indicate that he is starting to crumble and that he can't take anymore.


The music Video seems to me that it is telling a story, about the male and the female breaking up , once again these lyrics link very well to the illusrated images which we come acorss within the music video.
