I'm going to explain why I have used the camera shots, angles, movements, editing, mise-en-scene and sound by the use of some screen shots from my music video.
This is one of the clips in the beginning. A close up was used to show and express her facial expression to the audience, on the other hand, I focused the camera on the vine. This was done to make the audience more intrigued with the artist. The close up also enables the audience to focus their attention the mise-en-scene. It's evident that she is wearing a white top which connotes innocence and this is again backed up with the depth of focus. Lighting is a key aspect of this shot, the natural lighting of the sun is mainly hitting the left side of her face and a dark shadow is casted on the right this may connote her thoughts and her character.
I used a high angle here to express her innocence, she is situated in the shadow of the sun which may foreshadow that her future isn't bright. There is also a red blanket beneath her which may symbolise danger which is approaching. I used a zoom effect to emphasis her innocence and danger. This will allow the audience to feel sorry for her. Another way in which the audience can tell that something is wrong is through her posture and body language, she is slouching therefore she must have received bad news.
This is a very simple but effective clips which a lot of my audience liked. It shows one of the tea cups being filled while the other has been left empty. The reason behind this shot is to show symbolism, it follows the narrative of the story and how Mi-kyong is going to get married to another man that she doesn't love. I have simply showed this through the left cup which is empty which connotes her feelings towards him. The right cup which is being filled connotes her feelings for her ex-boyfriend Sam and how she still loves him. The dim lighting adds a very good effect which empathises the colour of the tea (her feelings). I used a mid shot to show the two tea cups and the tea pot. This has a great impact on the audience as they will start to wonder why there's clips of the tea scene.
The use of tilting on this scene adds a good effect as I was able to express her real feelings. as the tilt gets closer to the end the audience are able to see some of the steam which connotes that her feelings towards her ex-boyfriend, Sam is still there and still alive. The extreme close up allows the audience to clearly analyse the cup.
I used a cut as one of the main editing techniques which shows continuation, this is the slow motion ring scene which I have slowed down to empathises it's importance to the audience. It situated on the bottom right of the rule of thirds intersection this may reflect on the physical relationship of the couple which shows that's its on the edge and may connote that it's imbalanced.
The composition of this shot is very important in order to make the audience feel sorry for her. She is located on the middle third which siginifies her importance. The direct mode of address is eveident due to her looking straigt at the audience which will show her emotions. The redness of the lipstick contrasts againts the whole of the mise-en-scene which may connote love and passion, this may link with her feeling towards Sam (Ex-bofriend). The camera is potisioned at a high angle which shows that she's vulerable and highlights her innocence.
The low angle of the clock siginifies the importance of time, it's also an important clip in the narrative as it shows that she's running out of time. The two prints of the world within the clock may symbolise the two guys in her life, one she loves but can't be with and the one she has to marry but doesn't love.
