Textual Analysis George Ezra- Blame it on me



George Ezra- Blame It On Me
Textual analysis
the first scene has a long shot of several birds flying in a blue sky over a town which sets up the scenes of where it is. then there is a crane shot coming down into the scene in which George Ezra is being filmed. Then there is a extreme long shot of George standing next to someone and it gives the detail in what they are both wearing and what George is carrying. then there is close ups of the man speaking to him. Then as soon as George Ezra starts singing, there is a low angle camera showing that he is the dominant figure to be focusing on. After that the camera focuses on two girls with a close up showing their expressions. then there is a birds eye view of birds faeces falling on him and as it has landed on his shirt there is an extreme close up of the bird faeces. the camera angle of when he is walking down the street is a dolly shot as it is tracking his movement. a thunder cloud appears above his head and you can hear the rain and this is diegetic as you can see the source.
All throughout the video there is a non diegetic sound as it is a music video and the music will not be playing throughout the streets of what he is walking down.
the lighting is all high key as it is not a scary video and is a video throughout the day. throughout the video the colour blue is portrayed, from the shirt George Ezra is wearing to the garages, windows and the tops the rugby players are wearing. The colour blue represents power and intelligence.
