Analysis of Shot
This long shot shows the artist staring out of a window. The shot compliments the piano music. The main lighting is natural from outside of the window, the artist is silhouetted. The location is in a house and this is a sort of establish shot. The connotation shows the artist in a black dress and seems like she is mourning or waiting for somebody hence why she is staring out the window. The colours give the audience the feeling of solitariness.
Music/Lyrics - Piano Instrumental Edits – Dissolve edit before the artists starts singing.
Analysis of Shot
The artist is addressing the audience by singing to them. She is holding a candle that may signify the frailness and emotions she is feeling and this links in with the lyrics. Again the lighting is natural and is coming from the candle. Everything is dark and with the candle it may again show she is trying to find a way out of the dark. The shot type stays the same and she switches from looking at the candle to looking up at to the audience. The connotation is almost telling a story.
Music/Lyrics - “How can I love when I’m afraid to fall” Edits – After the artists sings the lyrics, it dissolves into a scenery.shot.
Analysis of Shot
The lyrics are contradicting with the shot. The shot before is of a character from the movie (Breaking Dawn) the song was written for, throwing the wedding invite on the floor and his Father picking it up. The movie is under the theme of love and loss. The entire shot doesn’t work with the lyrics. The raining represents anger and jealousy. An element of sadness is shown in this shot. I don’t think there is a connotation present within this part.
Music/Lyrics - “One Step Closer” Edits – Dissolves into the chorus lyrics.
Analysis of Shot
The candles could represent how many years she has loved somebody, so each candle is one year. The lighting is slightly blue and this colour implies sadness but the yellow of the flame could show a small amount of hope. The artist is surrounded by candles and the connotation could mean its all she cares about in her life. This could appeal to audiences who like love songs.
Music/Lyrics - “I’ve loved you for a thousand years” Edits – The shots dissolve into each other rapidly unlike the shots in the verses.
Analysis of Shot
After two characters say “I Love You” to each other, this shot appears and the colour dramatically changes from blue sad colours, to yellow, orange brighter colours that represent hope and happiness. The sunrise represents new beginnings. This part links in with the lyrics with the connotation and symbolism of being one step closer to being loved. This appeals to the Breaking Dawn fans with the theme of gaining love.
Music/Lyrics - “One Step Closer” Edits – The shot dissolves into another clip from the movie
Analysis of Shot
This is a clip from the film. Connects with the lyrics, the character is looking worried. The clip fades into a clip of her husband telling her to not be afraid. Good for target audience as they can tell the song was written especially for the film as it goes well with the lyrics of the song. Connotes well with the theme of love.
Music/Lyrics - “Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years” Edits – Dissolves into a clip of her husband looking concerned.
