These shots are again
very dark and cold. The
mist over the forest
feels edgy and the girl
stood on the rocks is
similar to the shots in
‘Hyde’ by the lake; in
this case the girl is
stood over a waterfall.
There is part of the
music video showing
the girl rubbing paint
over her body and hair
then taking to the
forest to wipe it across
trees. This shows a
connection with nature
in an obscure, edgy
way. The colours flow.
Slip
The train track shot is
similar to the car traffic
in ‘Arcadia’ and show
the girl getting away
from reality and
escaping. The colours
of the other two show
the unnatural,
fluorescent lighting of
being indoors in
comparison to in
nature. The top right
screenshot is a clever
use of a mirror to show
the girls actions
without filming her
directly but uses an
over the shoulder shot
with a single character.
Slip
These screenshots are
a collection of the
montage of footage
with the use of water.
The flowing of the river
shows the fast pace,
free movement. A girl
drowning is common in
music videos of this
genre and the dripping
ripples of the murky
water add to the edgy
vibe of the song while
staying contingent with
the dark, cold colour
scheme and the theme
of water use. The video
has no narrative or
performance.
