This video tells the story of an artist singing to the boy next door that she desires. The analysis summarizes key shots in the video. Shots at the beginning establish the two houses as being separate and the artist as modest. Subsequent shots show the artist dancing and singing in her room to express herself and show her fun personality. Later shots depict barriers like windows separating the artist and boy, showing their distance. The final shot features the artist in a white dress, now being presented as an image in addition to her music, bringing the story to a close.

Analysis

2. This establishing shot shows two
houses. They are a certain distance
apart. This creates symmetry and
shows that they are very different.The
shot is from a low angle and shows
these houses as being important,
probably the artists house and another
important character.
Here is the first shot of the artist. She is
wearing typically nerdy and geeking
costumes. This shows her as being
quite modest and reserved. This video
is a televised bard. It tells a story and
leads the viewer through a path.

3. Here the artists narrates and sings
into a comb. She dances and jumps
around her bedroom, this adds a fun
and childish tone to the video. The
shot is very colourful and the filter is
very saturated. This shows the video
is uplifting and bright. This keeps
within the pop genre.
This shot of the boy she desires, is
from behind his window. This creates
a wall between them and shows that
they are separated. In comparison to
the size of the shot. This shows that
at this point in the video she has little
to do with him.

4. In this shot we can see the artist behind
car window, this show also creates gap
between her and the boy. She seems
distanced and sad because of this. In no
way is the artist shown provocatively or
and instead she is being sold for her
music and not looks in this part of the
video.
This final shot shows the artist in a clean
white dress and being centre shot. She is
the most important thing in the shot. She
stands out due to her dress and this
finally sets her aside from everyone else.
She is now being sold as an image as
well as a singer. This brings the story to a
neat close and wraps it up as if it were a
book. It allows the video to have a finale.
