2. Logo is
rough and
fades from a
blank screen
and then
fades away
Blank background
showing clarity and
a clean slate
3. Good looking but mysterious
and observant and elegant
much like a fox
Blank background,
dedicating this song to her
and other people like her.
4. Mysterious and
gloomy shot of the
artist.
Unrecognisable telling us
that his song and music is
much more important then
his image
5. Gazing upon the artist
this tells us that what he
is singing about means
something to her
Lights on a
rooftop tells
us that this is
a kind of gig
or concert
6. She has a certain glare and
observant facial expression
as if she is searching for
someone (which she is)
Definitely attracts -
- The attention of many men
although the song is about her
imagining, wishing and fantasising
about being with different men.
7. Hozier really wants to emphasize how
his music matters more then his looks
and how he is focused on making good
music rather then being a “Camera
idle”.
Light and his michrophone
depict that what he is
singing means something
and is going to give
someone hope (light=hope)
8. As the song progresses, the beat
picks up and we start
understanding the meaning of
the lyrics she is more determined
and we have more understanding
The facial expression,
hair slicked to one
side and leather
jacket give her an
almost hostile vibe
9. His back is turned to us and shows how he is
remaining mysterious and only wants us to
hear what he is singing and now see what he
looks us.
It feels like we are put in the
spotlight and blinded as he sings
along
10. We are immediately surprised by
this occurrence since we have
seen her alone this whole time
and very observant like a lion
observing for its prey.
He is confused and
does not
understand what
she is doing or
knows who she is
(which he doesn’t)
Her facial expression and
body language is much
more positive then we
have ever seen in any
other scenes and looks
like she has “bagged a
golden prize”
11. We now understand why
the song is called “Someone
New” since this is a
completely new person
We can finally relate why
she was so happy to find
this new person
12. Door is shut on the audience telling
us that what she is doing is explicit.
We now understand the
meaning of “Someone
new” this gives us an
understanding of the
character.
13. There is slight confusion
when we see her walking
past the man she had just
had intercourse with.
We don’t realize it now but
what she had with him was
a figure of imagination and
fantasy.
14. We get introduced to a
new person this gives us
the sense that she is
searching for someone.
15. The audience starts to
suspect that she is just
imagining herself with
different people
16. She looks back dramatically
and seems distraught that he
imagination did not come true
but it gives us the sense she
has moved on since she is
walking forward and away
from him
17. She gazes outside of a window
and we can tell that she is
reflecting on something.
This looks like she is
reflecting on her self
and looking at who she
is.
18. Obviously staring and not
being subtle we can tell that
she is attracted to him
He is completely
oblivious to what she is
thinking or about his
surroundings.
19. By now we very much
doubt that this is actually
happening and we think
this is her imagination and
fantasy.
20. She awakens and we were
right in thinking it was all
her imagination and a
dream
She appears to be
disorientated and
confused about
where she is, often
a case of people
falling asleep on
public transport.
21. We can only just see
her in the background
but we can tell she is
observing them
22. We see her with the
other girl doing the exact
same thing as the other
one, she wishes she was
in her shoes
23. We see her exiting the tube
station with the girl that she has
imagined her self with
The colour is very particular and
reflect a feminine colour showing a
deeper meaning to “Someone
new” that she will look at anyone
in this way despite their gender or
race.
24. Colour changes
showing that her
situation has
changed.She is alone showing
us that it was all a
part of her
imagination and
fantasy
25. We can tell that she is sad and
distraught about her evening and
she is almost doing the “walk of
shame” this makes us have pity for
her.
26. The shot is almost a
duplicate of the previous
one
This tells us that the artist is in the
same position and that she is not
alone in her situation.
27. She is seen with another man
and they seem to be very
intimate. Again we are very
sceptical about this
28. We see the man with another girl and this seems to be
the same as all other guys and that this was all her
fantasy and imagination, there is a very large repetition.
29. She seems to have arrived home and
looks down about her evening and the
failures of her fantasies to come
through
30. We are once again surprised buy her sporadic
nature and we are completely clueless as to who
the man is, we assume it is her boyfriend, fiancé
or husband since she is at home
31. She removes her black leather
jacket and is wearing a simple
white t-shirt, exactly like the man in
her fantasy.
She is alone and the man
(although we thought he was
real) is a figure of her
imagination.
32. We have the best look at the artist
showing that as the video progresses he
revels his identity.
33. This is by far the most intense
intercourse scene in the whole
video
We recognise this place,
it being the place where
we first saw the
character.
34. Exactly where she was at the
beginning (this whole music video
could have been an imagination)
Same place in the
screen as she was in the
last scene
35. She is distraught and almost
in shock about her thoughts
and that her fantasies have
not come through.
Though it’s the same place
where the music video began
it’s a very different situation.
36. Video ends like this bringing
us back to reality that this is
just a song
