Pink - Perfect
Description:
Teddy -> leads to past
Childhood memories (Bullying, doesn't fit in)
Teenage problems (Anorexia, self harm, dislike in appearance)
Long silent pause on girl in bath, covered in blood
Ends happily, settled down with family. Wishes good luck upon her daughter.
Genre: Pop music
Narrative: Flash backs of past, lyrics help explain (no need for a narrative) girl is a different person from Pink.
Representation: Typical child/teenage problems. Story based to advise teenagers (primary audience)
MICRO ANALYSIS:
Visual codes: 2 main focuses - Pink and girls life. Use of growing up -> flash backs. Close ups. "Old effect" on young scenes.
Editing: Pan shots between ages. Black fade between problems. Close ups & many jump-cuts of girl in the bath.
Mise-en-scene: Happy parts and pink are more colourful and facial expressions are caring.
Sound: No digetic sound but song lyrics are sometimes spoken rather than sang. "Why do I do that?"
GOODWINS THEORY:
Relationship between lyrics and visuals - illustrating, amplify, and contradic lyrics. Multiple close ups of star. Voyarism (viewers take pinks words for it) Video is in time with song.
