George Ezra - Textual Analysis

In the video Blame it on me by George Ezra, there are a variety of camera shots used. A medium close up shot is used to make it look like we are there, also that he is treated no different than anyone else because he is a celebrity. By being eye level it is showing he is being seen as the same and is not being seen any better or smaller than anyone else. By showing a close up shot of the substance falling and hitting his shirt it creates effect as it is showing the substance is not what it is expected to look like. This is as the substance is expected to be faeces from the birds, which were shown in a previously shot. This shows that the substance is gold and glittery, this is showing that from something bad, there may be something good, also when this happens, George sings the word 'treasure' which could suggest he is talking about the substance. An extreme long shot is used to show the car driving through the neighbourhood. This shows that's it is just a normal neighbourhood. There is another extreme long shot when showing George Ezra and the man walking in different directions, this could suggest that they are taking different paths in life. A close up is then used to show George Ezra throwing an empty cup behind him onto the floor, this suggests that the area is not respected very much by the people. Another close up is used when showing the two girls faces, this shows their expression being a bit confused and surprised to see someone as the area is represented as a quite isolated place. A close up shot is used to show his guitar getting smashed, and crushed by a police car. An extremely long shot is used to show a rugby player, later turning into a few players running from a distance to what looks like into George, this shot makes it look like George is the camera. Later on an extreme close up shot is used to show they facial expression and feeling on a woman's face who purposely turns the car in George's direction to run him over. Another extreme close up shot is again used to show his body smashing and cracking a car window. This extreme long shot is used to show everything that is happening in the location. Its shows a variety of bad things happening in the area, such as shootings, graffiti, smoke, a fire and others, this represents the area as not being looked after, it shows the area is not respected. It also shows that the area is quite an isolated, quite place where not many people are expected to be.

Non- diegetic and diegetic sound are both used in this video. Diegetic sound is used in the video to start with when you can hear the bird's chirping and then the car driving past, the tyres scrapping on the floor. After diegetic sound is again used when the man is asking George Ezra a question: 'Are you sure you want to follow the yellow brick road?' this suggests he is questioning the path George is thinking about following and taking, questioning if it is the right path to take. Once the question is asked and he walks away Non- diegetic sound is used when the music starts playing. Diegetic sound is then added to the Non- diegetic sound when George starts singing. Diegetic sound is then used again after by the dog barking and growling when biting on to George Ezra's shirt which causes the guitar to fall out of the case and falling and hitting the floor which is another diegetic sound. Which then later on the guitar is run over by a police car causing the diegetic sound of breaking and crashing as the guitar falls to pieces. Later on diegetic sound is used when the cloud of rain and thunder is over the top of George, this suggests that he may be taking the wrong path as everywhere else in the video is sunny and dry and this shows this as while he is walking past, the cloud is following him. The guitar case being thrown on the floor also is a diegetic sound as it hits the floor and metal gate. Through the video with the cloud over George you can hear the rain and then a little bit of thunder. Towards the end you can hear the skidding of the car tyre as the women controls it to turn the way George Ezra is, which then straight after you hear another diegetic sound as she beeps the horn then straight after hear the sound of his body on the car window, automatically making it crack. Then when George gets up of the floor you can hear car tyres skidding on the floor, at first it is believed to be the car tyres of the woman who has just ran him over, it comes to show it is a police car. Straight after the car skids past, you can hear shooting, it shows this coming from people shooting guns at each other, this is diegetic sound. Which one of these bullets hit a window causing it to smash and shatter into pieces. Then to finish you can only hear George Ezra singing, as it is showing shooting and smashing but does not make any sound from this.
