Concept
In this video, Kate is in a relationship with a man, which seems to be deteriorating. Kate knows that this is happening but yet she cannot seem to let go.
Narrative
Kate sings to the camera telling a story of her unhappy relationship which she cannot let go of.
Performance
The still images in this video create a sense of normality. There are toothbrushes and a telephone which are very ‘normal things’. She and her boyfriend are also playing a board game, and a game of cards, which are also very normal things to do. This helps the audience relate to her predicament. In one shot, a ball knocks over some of her shoes; this could be representing the destruction in her relationship. Kate’s relationship is being shown through domestic items in her home.
Technical aspects
The two different coloured socks move around on the floor, together and apart. It is clear that one sock belongs to Kate, and another belongs to his boyfriend. The socks are moving together and apart which is what is happening in her relationship.
Camera
A wide range of shots are used in the video such as head shots, close ups, extreme close ups and full shots. A shallow focus is used on a close up of the couple holding hands, creating a sense that nothing else matters, except them. This is also shown where there is a close up shot of their feet together as they are lying in bed. This gives connotations of the ‘typical image’ of a happy relationship.
Mise en Scene
Kate has a very distinct sense of style. She wears very bright colours, which match the bright colours of the things in her home. She wears a yellow dress in one shot, which have connotations of happiness. This contradicts her feelings about her relationship. She also wears a green dress which gives connotations of jealousy, which could be present in her relationship.
Lighting
The apartment is very light as there are lots of windows, creating an ‘open view’ of her feelings. At the end when she packs her bag to leave him, the lighting is much darker, representing the dark side of the relationship and also representing her upset.
Actors
The only actors in this video are Kate and her boyfriend.
Props
There are many many props in this video, all representing the state of her relationship in some way. Most props are very ‘normal’ which shows how normal she is and how normal her relationship is. E.g. beer bottles, a cake, shoes, a telephone. At the end of the video as kate leavesher boyfriend, there is a sign on the door as she closes it behind her which says "Don't fall for this". This statement is telling people not to fall for a relationship like she has, and it is implying that her relationship with this man has been a mistake.
