Post #27 Music Video/Image


This video is about people going to war and having family seeing them again. People are at risk of death like the grandparents and will see the grandchildren again. The lyrics say see you again. Going to college and seeing there parents again. When they show people opening their hands and they are letting the spirit in and take control. It's a part of life when there are happy memories that are going to to be missed and become sad. The white sheets symbolizes that she's in heaven and she's looking down on who she misses. In memory of someone dying and not seeing them again. Being baptized brings people closer to each other and to god. A lot of christian values exist in this video with the heavens and listening to the lyrics. Editing tried to induce emotion by film quick shots and videos of memories. Fast flashing and bring the emotion as well like its them remembering people from the past.  Flashback to the memories with people as well as the grandma getting flashbacks to when she was younger. Focusing on peoples face's and seeing their emotions brings emotion to the audience and draws them in. Decor is present in this video because it is about her being an angel and it decorated like the heavens above. Lighting is bright and showing several glances of happy memories. Also the lighting is very bright in present tense scenes and darker when the the videos and flashbacks come upon each other. Thinking about the person you lost night and day. Looking at the newborns. Costume approach is when she's wearing an all white dress like an angel. Shots on the old videos taken. Depth of field is present when the soldiers open up their hands to catch their children. Framing when she's touching his face. Memorizing the voice in their heads. Deep space showing the american flag and the wreckage in the background.




Blown Away is a video where her father was abusive and showing her earlier life and what it was like. The black and white shot and zooming on his father drinking and not waking up is showing the dark and depressing side of her life. The mother left them because the dad was abusive to the mom. She is in the grave yard and looking for her mom in the cemetery like she's singing to her. The dad abused her to death and now just takes it out on his daughter. Always wants to run back home but the problem is at home. Wizard of OZ symbol, escaped to her dreams. Yellow brick, yellow house, yellow road and how bright it comes across. The windows are open and it is trashed and the father is laying in peace while the whole world is spinning around him. When she tries and gets close to her dad, he quickly shuts her out. Without her mother there she feels lonely and left behind. The house is falling apart since there is not adulthood present. The light hanging above her in the basement is her last hope and it's hanging on a thread. Point-of-view shot looking at her dad as if the camera was her looking at the damage. Birds eye view when she's looking at the light bulb. Constant jump shots to get a better reasoning on the video and the main idea.


Prisoners
Evil is taking over because its more than half dark
First drawn to the eye
In the boundaries of the door
Dark green means illness
The gun is out of focus 
James Franco in Spider Man
In this image it's first drawn to the eye
Torn between good vs. evil
Dad had a bad influence of him
He was looking at his dad but himself at the same time
Becoming like his father
Focused on his face
Zoomed in his face and how torn he is
Small light in the darkness where he is a good person but turning bad
Last scene in Lost
At peace finally
The torture is gone
Feels relax with his dog
Sucking the life out of himself
Feels beat and tired
Looks like he's dying
God looking down on his life
Healing
