Music Video Analysis (7)

Jasmine Thompson - Run

Camera:
-establishing shot = long shot of busy London street, this establishes the setting of the video
-close ups on her singing
-close ups on the piano keys when she is playing and her hands playing

Editing:
-fades between shots
-slow motion of Jasmine on the bridge
-blurry/hazed shots can represent innocence and youth
-old/vintage video filter is used at some points

Mise en scene:
-she is in both city and nature
-piano scene in a wood, nature = purity
-old piano in the woods neglected (leaves) in a place of peace/serenity - can link in with the lyrics

Sound:
-no non digetic sound, just the music track

Lyrics:                                                                               Analysis:

You are the wind in my sail                                 (love- she almost needs the partner

You are the spring in my step                               vital to her)  

You make me laugh you make me cry 

And you make me forget 

So tell me when you run, I want to run with you   (wants to be with him, will go with him 

Tell me where you hide, I want to come to you       anywhere) 

Tell me where you go, I want to go there too 

Even if you fall I will go down with you 

I will be the one who comes to rescue you 

Tell me where you go cause I want to be there too 

I hid my secrets in a box 

I did exactly what you said   

Now I’m feeling so much better 

Cause you make me forget                                  (forget pian, troubles, he is her comfort)

So tell me when you run, I want to run with you 

Tell me where you hide, I want to come to you 

Tell me where you go, I want to go there too 

Even if you fall I will go down with you 

I will be the one who comes to rescue you 

Tell me where you go cause I want to be there too 

With you, with you, with you, with you 

You set the world on fire 

but the flames are getting higher 

So I stand beneath the waterfall 

Yeah you set the world on fire                            (Even if he does something wrong she will 

and the flames are getting brighter                       look past it) 

but I don’t feel the heat at all 

So tell me when you run, I want to run with you 

Tell me where you hide, I want to come to you 

Tell me where you go, I want to go there too 

Even if you fall I will go down with you 

I will be the one who comes to rescue you 

Tell me where you go cause I want to be there too 

With you, with you, with you, with you
