Textual analysis of a music video: Waiting All Night – Rudimental feat. Ella Eyre


Waiting All Night – Rudimental feat. Ella Eyre
Mise-en-scene
We see shits of the main character in the hospital, rehabilitation centre and a skate park. These are all key locations as they show the beginning, middle and end of the guys recovery, which is what this music video is all about.
Sound
        The song doesn’t start playing in this music video until 33 seconds in. All of the sound up until then is the diegetic sound
 
Camera Angles
Most of the camera angles used in this music video are POV shots or hand held shots. These denote that this is based on a real story as these camera angles put us in the shoes of those close to the man who had the accident making it all feel more real
Transitions
There is the use of a cut through black transition between the BMX riders accident and the shot of his friend looking worried for him. This transition denotes a clear change in scene but also connotes the unconsciousness of the BMX rider who had the accident
Narrative
This music video is based on the inspirational true life-story of San Francisco born BMX champion and actor - Kurt Yaeger, who became an amputee after an accident in 2006.
Titling
There are no titles in this music video
