Hyde music video eval

1. HYDE

2. Hyde
Very natural colour
scheme to match the
vast open space. Shots
of the landscape with
clever use of mirrors to
emphasise the masses
of space and play with
lighting and reflections.
A lot of use of water
both in the indoor pool
and out across the
stretch of lake water.
The contingency of
colour through the grey
water matches the sky
and walls and is
contingent with the
pale, washed skin tones
of the actors.

3. Hyde
These images illustrate
the use of mirrors to
show reflections of the
actors with very few
direct shots. The rocks
and stone flooring are
both used as a dark
backing to the actors in
various shots but as a
whole the colours used
are all dark and
washed. The shot of
the man on the rocks is
empowering and shows
very relaxed, open
freedom which can be
seen in other music
videos in this genre as
an image of tranquillity.

4. Hyde
These shots are
examples of where the
colour tones become
more feminine and
warm with the intimacy
of the actress. Again
the shots are playing
with reflections and
water. The bottom shot
shows the girl looking
alone and lost giving a
feeling of open space
and emptiness. The use
of the iconic red colour
contrasts with the
washed white room,
skin and clothing. The
same 2 actors are used
throughout.

5. Hyde
The music video
experiments with the
use of lighting-
presumable natural
sunlight. This gives the
images a very warm
feel and the lit skin
feels intimate and
connects the audience.
They boast very clever
camera work and
angles. The storyline is
quite loose and is open
to interpretation but
doesn’t entirely fit the
narrative of the lyrics.
It’s more of a
compilation/ montage
of emotive shots.
