Euan Baker Music Video - Wykes Sixth Form College
In the mies-en-scene, Euan uses the setting of a forest to construct the vast, overwhelming aspect of nature that connects with the tinny, ambient sound of the song selection and the gaps of silence between the noise in the music and the eerie, hallucinogenic vocals connoted with woods and fairytales. A quest through the unknown and the surreal.
Euan starts off with enigma codes and rhythmic cuts of flashing images of a liquid poured in water, this may connote that he consumed some form of liquid and causes Euan's perspective to be surreal, also there is consistency in lighting and colours, because the video is shot monochromatically, succeeding from the black-and-white images.
Euan employs a voyueristic shot, we look at Euan wandering suspicious of something following him, but unable to locate or identify the cause of his suspicions. Euan uses a blur which contrasts with the focus of shots previous and also connotes the observer is not human and also through the angle of the shot connotes the observer is a predator.
In this sequence, Euan used slow-motion to heighten the drama of the jump and submergion into the unknown. The effect of the slow-mo makes the audience think slower and absorb the image and understand the narrative of the video clearly.
