When filming, we used close ups of Heidi's face, hands, feet etc to use voyeuristic objectification which is typical of music videos with females in. This differs from when we created our thrillers because we weren't thinking about making the person in front of the camera look attractive because of the genre. Also in our music video, Heidi is the centre of attention and is in every shot, whereas in our thrillers and children's film, their are plenty of characters and more than one to look at.
Selling The Artist:
Our artist is given a lot of screen time in the music video, to make the audience familiar with her face so they can remember her and she becomes easy to recognize when making another video. She is being portrayed as a pure and innocent character in the video which makes her easily likable. Also the artist is showing more than one skill by playing the piano while singing. This shows that she is multi-talented and the audience might be more interested in her as she portrayed as a real musician.
Lyrics/Visuals:
As the song is based on nature, we used settings where the artist was surrounded by nature so that when she referred to water in the lyrics she was then by a river so it all made sense. Also, in the lyrics she mentions being all alone so the visual at that point is the artist all alone, with big buildings towering over her making her look small and vulnerable. In another section, the lyrics say 'the heavy weight of stone' and as the artist sang this, she slowly dropped her head to make it look heavy.
Music/Visuals:
The mood of the song is serious and expressive therefore the artist showed this in her facial expressions.
