The Weeknd- The Morning


I chose to analyse this particular video because its a combination of Andrew Goodwin's and  Shakur theory.
The video begins with a establishign shot of them stranded in deserted irland, and you could see the car dumping them. their make up is extremely rough which again reflects on the song tittle "the morning" showing how they look after last night events.
The whole concept is based around wild girls who go out and get wreckless without considering the morning consequences.
The video consist of the flash back of the actress the night before, everytime the chorous comes on, the video flashes back to them girls the night before acting wild, remindidng us, the audience what the song is about. a constant reminder.
Through the close ups, we can see the facial expressions of the girls look horrofic and tiring, depicting their mood of them being exausted and lost.
In the mist of their frustration, there is a magical man, covered in glittery gold, "rescuing" them and they  ended uo dying one after the other. this isjust a refelction of the song but also of life which is youre a victim of bad decision when you're in need and not thinking twice.
The video ismainly shot in close ups and long shot, so we, as audience can connect with the chrachters quickyl and feel their pain. its a slow pace editing because the its a slow sad depressing song
At the end of the video westillt he last girl standing running, running from her way of life it appears and trying to excape her circumstances due tot he fact that she'd just lost her all her friends in the name ofliving a wild life.
