-Mirrors is pop and r&b video
- uses variety of shot types and choppy to juxtapose against the couple throughout the various time frames
What is the relationship between lyrics and visuals?
There is a strong relationship between the lyrics and visuals throughout this music video:
-"and I cant help but notice"- close up of guy looking up at girl
-"if you ever feel lonely"- mid shot of girl standing on her own
"just know that I'm always parallel on the other side"- wide shot of lady walking and man following doing same movements
-"you were right here all along"- wide shot lady turns round and looks directly at man
-"just put your hand on my hand, ill be trying to pull you through"- close up of young couple getting pictures of them as an older couple, pulling them to the future
-"tomorrows a mystery"- wide shot of man in black coat and hat walking past lady, who is he???
-"I can see you looking back at me"- mid shot of girl in wedding dress, looking back at lady when she was younger
-"looking right at the other half of me"- extreme close up of girl and guy looking at each other
-"its like your my mirror"- wide shot showing mirror and man in it
-" you are the love of my life"- wide shot of lady dropping her ring and landing into artists hand showing he is carrying on her legacy
What is the relationship between music and visuals?
-There are many links between music and visuals throughout this music video, these match the tempo for example. when the shots switch between the different time frames it is down in time with the beat continuously
Are there close ups of the artist and image motifs?
- There is not many close ups of the artist throughout this music video as it mainly focuses on the couple and there life together. Although, when the artist is shown towards the end of the music video there is a few close ups of his face looking through a mirror, and seeing someone on the other side this could be showing that it is now his relationship that can be seen in the mirror. There are a few close ups of image motifs such as, the ring as well although, majority of the close ups focus on the couple and their different eras.
Is the music video performance, narrative or concept?
-Performance- shows the artist towards the end of the music video
-Narrative- music video shows the story of how two people met and the different stages of their lives
Conclusion
Overall, I liked this music video as it often used the visuals to link with lyrics and also used a variety of shot types through out the sequence to create a narrative and performance music video.
