Transcript of Ellie Goulding Deconstruction
Ellie Goulding ‘The Writer’ Deconstruction
Genre Characteristics• At 42 seconds we see the singer is wearing casual clothes
and one of the locations is in a field. This shows it belongs to the singer/songwriter genre because it is simple and natural.
• We can see this video is hybrid between performance and narrative as she is miming to the lyrics but there is also a story.
Relationship Between Lyrics and Visuals
• At 1:46 she sings “I tried out a smile” and at the same time she smiles.
• From 2:36 to 2:40 the lyrics are “You wait, I wait, shadows interrupting,” as the sun is shining behind her suggesting a shadow being cast .
Artist Motifs• The video is focused on the singer with a lot of
close ups throughout.
Notion of Looking• At 1:12 we get a very high angle shot looking down on the
singer, then in the next shot at 1:15 we can see a lighthouse which suggest that she was being watched from the top of it.
• From 1:56 to 1:57 she is looking at something in the lighthouse.
