Son Lux - Undone

I really like the music video for Son Lux's 'Undone'. The video shows a woman running through a forest and corn field, the obvious theme of the video being 'escapism'. This is very relevant to our own music video as 'Undone' expresses most of the same key themes, for example, escapism, desperation and feeling trapped and lost. The constant movement throughout the video (the dolly shot that follows the woman whilst she runs and the shot where the camera circles around the couple as they dance) adds fluidity and also reinforces the idea of escapism as movement connotes the idea of travelling.



I think that this is a very interesting shot as the camera follows the woman as she runs around the corner. The camera movement makes the viewer feel as though they are moving with the woman, this could perhaps allow them to empathise with her character more and her need to escape. I think that this would work well within our music video as we hope to include multiple shots of our protagonist running in various locations.



I really liked this shot as it makes the woman appear more distant to the audience, the plants creating a barrier. This creates a more disorientating atmosphere and presents the woman as helpless, the claustrophobic composition making her seem trapped. I think that we could use a similar shot in our music video in our Capel Manor Maze location as there will be plants and maze walls that we could film through in order to achieve a similar look.



This is one of my favourite shots from the music video. I like the effect of the people's actions continuing into the next shot, even more impressive is that the second shot is in a different location. This helps to link the two contrasting locations together and makes the transition seamless. This could be effective within our music video as we are including numerous contrasting locations, we don't want the transitions to be too jarring for our audience.
