A video study into similar themes !!

    Good morning and good evening! Today we needed to research a bit. For our research we chose I don’t care by Violent Vira and Lolita by Violent Vira. To clarify, Violent Vira is alternative rock, and God complex doesn't have a music video; therefore we used other songs of her's to see what they looked like. 'I don't care' starts of as a tracking medium long shot. It then fades into a medium close up. During the medium long shot we see the main female lead, played by Vira, having flashbacks. After the flashbacks it switch to low medium shots then we see male lead from a low medium close up showing how Vira is viewing him. Although she’s viewing him from a lower angle she sees him as someone who does not have a lot of dominance and someone she doesn’t want to be with. This also shows a bit more of the storyline. We see Vira in a wedding dress and they’re at a wedding chapel, however, she is having very obvious doubts. It then pans out into a long shot, there is then a cutaway scene, showing Vira alone. Still seemingly contemplating everything. Throughout the entire video they mostly stick with long shots and medium long shots. Lolita has the same theme within the shots.  However, it plays with angles a lot more. Rather than keeping with an eye level angle, it switches between high and low angles. It also has a lot more insert shots and we feel like the costumes told a lot more of a story. She was wearing a white button up with a short black skirt and boots. She also has a large chain wrapped around her body. we believe this is to show that she is trapped or being help down. She is also shown in what seems to be a prison cell. We feel like it showed the storyline a lot more. Within both of these we noticed a pattern of how the shots were. They were usually close ups or medium long shots. We also noticed that there was a lot of insert shots that showed the character alone rather than with someone else. Happy Birthday to whoever's Birthday it is and enjoy your days.
