Various camera shots and movements are used to portray meaning.]]> 2018-04-03 12:30:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/rkd4p71g6m75/wish/248080276 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/rkd4p71g6m75/wish/248084416 The start of the video is interesting as it starts with a slow motion effect, showing the male character walking up the stairs into the club. This is important increase the audiences expectation and anticipation to see whats going to happen or what the video is going to be about. ]]> 2018-04-03 12:42:09 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/rkd4p71g6m75/wish/248084416 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/rkd4p71g6m75/wish/248087462 This is another example of slow motion in the video. Though the use of this technique along with the normal pace of the video showing other people dancing shows the the two main characters are living more in the moment or are in their own bubble than everyone else, suggesting to the audience that they are the most important people in the video or in every scene. This differs from the Ed Sheeran video as that whole video isn't shown through slow motion. In summary, the slow motion technique of the video increases the importance of the main characters. ]]> 2018-04-03 12:50:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/rkd4p71g6m75/wish/248087462 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/rkd4p71g6m75/wish/248093902 This close-up of the artist singing his song looks directly into the camera a lot during the video.

The dark lighting in this situation can have connotations of danger or a forbidden love between the two characters.]]> 2018-04-08 11:10:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/rkd4p71g6m75/wish/249517553 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/rkd4p71g6m75/wish/249518000 On the other hand this bright lighting that is shining down on the two characters suggests how love can always shine through in times of difficulty. The lighting could also represent the fight between him and her against the two men that want to stop it from happening. ]]> 2018-04-08 11:16:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/rkd4p71g6m75/wish/249518000 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/rkd4p71g6m75/wish/249518511 The prop of the white glove on the female characters hands is a form of symbolism to suggest the possibility of a new love between the two characters. Also the contrast of the white to the rest of her costume which is black, suggests the female characters power in the situation to do whatever she wants. The white gloves are an attempt by the character to show her more innocent side. ]]> 2018-04-08 11:23:31 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/rkd4p71g6m75/wish/249518511 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/rkd4p71g6m75/wish/249519578 This establishing shot, at the start of the video sets the scene for the rest of the action and shows the main artists place in the video ]]> 2018-04-08 11:37:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/rkd4p71g6m75/wish/249519578 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/rkd4p71g6m75/wish/249520016 This spotlight which is a regular occurrence in the later stages of the video is also representative of the battle between light and dark, and more specifically the battle between love and those who forbid it. ]]> 2018-04-08 11:43:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/rkd4p71g6m75/wish/249520016 cameroneast23 https://padlet.com/cameroneast23/rkd4p71g6m75/wish/249561145 The end of the video is significant to show the triumph of love and how they have broken the rules to be with each other.
