3) I was inspired by the simplicity of the music video by Marcus foster called I was Broken featuring Kirsten Stewart as the female lead. I thought the editing of the music only featured the artist and the actress and moment of moving imagery of nature and townscapes. I felt that the lonely and empty spaces captured the moment similar between the creations of world only containing Adam and Eve. In my own opinion I consider this to be purposeful inclination of the director and the script of incorporating an intertextual reference to Adam and Eve.
At one point in the video, there is a merging of Kirsten’s face over the top of Marc’s face, suggesting that she’ll never be easily relieved from his memories. The editing of the two of them together suggests there is a strong bond between them.
There was a shot looking at grass, where in the opening verse he says “My head is off the ground”, making a significant, reference to the lyrics.
This method of imagery is known as montage, when a collection of images are interlinked after one another. I think the use if naturalistic forms reinforces the feeling of freedom, and you are led to believe he is finally restored back into normality.
James Blunt 'You’re Beautiful' presented an relateble concept associated with feeling brutally honest through the feeling of broken heartness, using an element of intrigue and creativity.
The main camera shot in the video was close up of James face singing throughout the video eyes towards the camera like a personal interaction with the audience that is incredibly intimate and similar to Marc Fosters music video. Both videos use this shot in a manner that is focused in the emotion conveyed that we truly grasp it in a way that is quite claustrphobic, but very personal.
Lighting
The enviroment is evidently cold, bare, snowy setting that appears to be naturally lit bright and clear.
Editing
The transition between shots of him are very calm and subtle which i really liked because you werent distracted and not too many things went on the vieod was focused on him and slow angles his environment above him and the objecs set in the ground that the would zoom into them and graudually draw back in the very sam e place. Most of the time the camre was still, like the moment he lept of the cliff the camera remained still watching him drop into the water below. The effect of this shot makes his action apper real and sudden because you see him grow further and futher away and then the plunge of water left after him falling under. this shot provided authetic perspective of him disappearing into the wide sea.
Mise-en-scene
The Blunt removes the upper portion of his clothing in a cold, bare, snowy setting and places all of his personal belongings on the ground. What is intersting is that the props were his personal items alone among the whole video, which is simple and great way to use a something small to present something deeper and more peronal through lesser complexity of multiple props.
Blunt removes the upper portion of his clothing in a cold, bare, snowy setting and places all of his personal belongings on the ground. While doing this, seagulls circle overhead like buzzards. At the end of the video, he jumps off a cliff and lands into the depths of icy water while he sings the lyrics: "But it's time to face the truth, I will never be with you". The video was filmed in Mallorca, Spain
Representation
The video ends with a dramatic plunge to his death his finak words being "But it's time to face the truth, I will never be with you" is a a calm exaggeration of when we are struggling emotional towards another we often think of the worst and feeling like nothing is worth more in life thann that individual. I think this is the feeling both the artist and the director Sam Brown wanted to portray to people that experience a broken heart.
Form
This is a performance music video, it features James Blunt staring starkly at the camre mouthing the words of the lyrics.
Cultural references and intertextuality
James follows a Japanese tradition of removing one's shoes and contents of clothing prior to jumping from a great height.

What I love about this video is that it matches the slow and subtle nature of the song in the translating it to the cameras gradual movements. like the moment the camera moves above his to the sky we see seagulls circle overhead like buzzards. This camera moved like this on two occasions catching the same masquerade of birds but the camera would slowly come down and capture James Blunt in his next activity or stance.The main camera shot in the video was close up of James face singing throughout the video eyes towards the camera like a personal interaction with the audience that is incredibly intimate and similar to Marc Fosters music video.

Maroon 5 she will be loved. However I am not inlove with the video, because it is predictable and perhaps this
They above selected music video of an indie background share similar topics of failed relationships, depleting relationships or unjust relationships. But what I enjoyed about analysing the way they would story tell
Eminem ft Duffy was about becoming obsessively involved and when that same feeling over the individual obsessed over does not
