Warpaint- Stars

00:00-02:00

Mise en scene:

- Outside scene.
-Low key lighting
-Girls running  (code and convention high energy in alternative rock videos)
-Blue lighting filter used. Creates dark atmosphere.
- Fire works and sparklers provide high key light and represent celebrations, bonfire night and fairgrounds.

Editing:

- Fades in fades out transistions.
-Reverse scenes create surreal effect.
-Slow motion scenes to fit the genre and atmosphere of the song.

Camera angles and movement:

- Mid close ups used so we can easily recognise the artist in a deatiled shot.
-High angle panning shot as they are laid in the water.

Laura mulveys theory applies as they show their bodies in water and in a bakini when its not nessacary or fitting into their narrative.

I like the darkness of this video as i think it really represents the genre well and creates a deep overwhelming atmosphere that almost suffocates veiwers as they struggle to breathe from the claustrobic darkness.
