2. At the starts of the music video of Kanye West’s bound 2 we see that the video starts
of with a exterior setting in the mountains. This sets of a sequence for the audience
that are watching at creates a feeling for them that they are there is the sequence.
We see different locations in the mountains but it does not say where it is which
shows us that they expect us to know. It has been edited so that it fades and another
setting shows so we could try and guess where it could possibly be.
We then see a group shot of horses running towards
the camera but has been edited so that its slow
motion which shows the audience clearly why their
running and gives them a chance to think why they
may be running.
3. We then see the main character “Kanye West” being
introduced in the video. We see that he is sitting on a
motor bike which relates to the setting because where
it is set you may need vehicles such as motor bikes to
go to places. We also see that he is wearing a t-shirt
which may suggest the weather in the country and by
looking at the t-shirt we assume that the weather is
quite hot. The clothes the audience is wearing relates to
hip hop because they wear them types of clothes that
they are comfortable in. The character is also not
looking at the camera which shows that we expect to
know who the character is by looking at the side of his
face.
We then see a full shot of the woman
but it is not fully shown instead it is
shown as a shadow which shows us that
they don’t want the audience to know
that there is a female character involved
in this video and the lyrics of the song
could be relating to her.
4. This is a mid shot of the main character “Kanye West”
which is being more frequently shown during the
video. He is now wearing a full sleeve t shirt which
may suggest change of weather from hot to slightly
cold. The lighting is used only to show half the
characters body which could suggest that one side is
good and the other half is bad as many other hip hop
genre artists are represented in the mass media.
Us as an audience are then fully introduced to the
female character and is show up close as a close up
shot. The close up shot have been used to show
the emotions of the character and by looking at
her face the emotion shows that she is loving the
breeze that’s coming towards her which may
suggest that she like the music which is being
played for he.
As the video goes on we then see a two shot of the
characters which shows the audience that they are
now both together. The females face is shown but the
male character isn’t shown as clearly as he is facing
her which could show that the the female has more
power.
5. Towards the end of the scene we see that the male character is hugging the female
character which shows the audience that they may have wanted to be together from
the beginning but something was stopping them but now at the end they are together
and the male character is hugging her tight which shows that he wanted form a very
long time. It is a two, over the shoulder shot of the characters with the over the
shoulder from the emale
