Case Studies part 2.

Hellogoodbye- When we first met.

LAB records on the 14th March 2011.

I definitely think this song is a metaphor about the emotional baggage that develops throughout a relationship.

"When we first met Your hair was long and brown You hadn't yet cut it all off"
Here he's talking about baggage from a past relationship the girl had before they met, then they got into a relationship and it's long once again. He then goes on to talk about haircuts, which could probably talking about problems within the relationship which kind of lifts the burden of them
Then throughout the song he talks about seeing the girls hair grow long as the days grew on, which is just all the problems and such that goes on throughout a relationship. For this song, I think the target audience is young people upwards. It’s about love and it really for anyone who can relate. Also, it’s for people who are into indie rock. It’s a happy, cute song which I'm sure some people can relate to.











Over the shoulder shot. This shows the male actor cutting bits of his hair and putting it into the sink. Almost like cutting out burdens in their relationship.

This is the couple, as they puts the ring on this girlfriends's finger. This is a wide shot, to show us everyone in the frame from a wider angle.





There is lip synching used at this bit of the video. He’s walking with his girlfriend but also singing the song. It also gives the video more of a happy vibe when the artist is singing the song in the video.

 At this scene on the music video (1:08-youtube) the camera pans to the male actor then to the female actor a few times. Each time we see her, her hair is different. 

Wide shot again to show us the surroundings of where the actors are. I would like a shot like this for my video. It’s quite beautiful. 

This video is very fun, the singers, the band, everyone involved is having fun. It gives the video more energy and positive vibes.

I want everyone in my music video to enjoy them, even if the video is sad.
