An over the shoulder shot on the right demonstrates how the emotion of looking is convention. The video has no narrative, yet we are shown this personal te!ting conetween two unknown people. The messages can e reaps as, &When0' and the repduring %lming reads, &12W' ust efore the woman throws the phone. This suggestsa planned event which leads the videos into total chaos, as from this moment onwaegins and the people at the party run riot in the venue.

The notion of looking is not strong in this video,ecause of the amount of still shots and lack ofcamera movement, so we act as onlookersof the events taking place, and our attentionis drawn oth to the arty getting out ofhand and the ands performance.

The shot elow is a close up with shallow focus

as the ack of the womens head is invisile,ut not focused so it gives the allusion we arereading her te!ts from over her shoulder, tomake the audience feel as if they areparticipating in some type of way.

This music video features many still shots with wide framing, so there are few references to thlooking'. This video does highlight the screens within screens as the camera used a pull focus time of the video's release, this was a new windows phone model. And the home screen is shoup of the phone as it was thrown through the air. This means the artist has used synergy with product of the new windows phone as oth mutually promote one another. The pull focus is onallow the audience to recognise the rand and how modern technology was used in the video.reference for the future, as an audience will recognise how old the model of phone is in relatiois.I have also noticed that there is a lot of low-key lighting surrounding the phone, perhaps to ma
