-Take a Walk is a indie video
-This video uses a constant point of view shot to create the perspective of the ball whilst also creating a slow paced tempo
What is the relationship between lyrics and visuals?
-"tomorrow some new building will scrape the sky" the ball goes into sky
-"selling red and white carnations" the visuals show the american dream of living in a big house
-"before we marry save my money"a dramatic drop happens, suggesting it is bringing the artist back to reality
-"bring my family state side" in the previous shot it showed one bird flying, as this line is said there is flock of birds in shot, symbolising the family
-"my wife wont ask me questions" plane flies past in thunder and lightning suggesting, she is angry with him
-"he made some bad investments now the accounts are overdrawn" shows the skyscrapers, connotationg business and finance world
-"we had taxes we had bills" girl with papers flying everywhere suggesting, that there were too much to handle
What is the relationship between music and visuals?
-The visuals often match the tempo of the song, and also set the scene for the song for example. the beginning of sequence shows a close up of the artist and a dog, allowing the song title to be understood.
Are there close ups of the artist and image motifs?
- There are not many close ups of the artist in this music video, only at the beginning of the sequence and on top of a building, the main focus is the point of view from the ball
Is the music video performance, narrative or concept?
- Performance- shot of artist singing ontop of roof
-Narrative- ball going through different locations of life
Conclusion
Overall,I think this music video is interesting as it uses point of view perspective to interact with the audience.
