Deconstruction

Video Director - Spike Jonze
It's Oh So Quiet - Bjorn

Possible Representations  - 
Artists
Genre
  Director
Track itself

  • Lighting affects match, tempo and structure of song
  • Synchronous
  • Borrows from musicals - intertextuality
  • Artist always centrally framed
  • Distinctive orange dress
  • Represented as young and energetic
  • Contrasting opening - why? suggests horror
  • Slow tracking - synchronous with music and lyrics - illustrative
  • Borrows from Wizard of Oz - tin man
  • Whizz pans and crash zooms
  • Continuity editing makes you believe she did the flip
  • Borrows film ideas/themes e.g. umbrellas - singing in the rain
  • symbolism in her rising above - shes happy
