Gabrielle Aplin - Please Don't Say You Love Me

I was intrigued by the use of diegetic sound within Gabrielle Aplin's 'Please Don't Say You Love Me'. The start and end of the music video do not feature the song, instead the audience can hear the diegetic sound. This helps to set the scene at the beginning of the video and helps to make the narrative clearer as the audience is able to focus more on the events that take place instead of the song.

Our finished storyboard includes a section after the song ends where the protagonist will be seen exiting the maze and diegetic sound will be heard. I really like this idea as it think diegetic sound adds an element of realism to a music video, this could enhance our narrative as the sudden shift from the song to diegetic sound could symbolise the character crashing back to reality, out of her 'hypnotised' state. After watching 'Please Don't Say You Love Me', I think that it may also be interesting to add diegetic sound at the start of the music video before the song begins to play.
