Analysis of most shocking second a day campaign video

 
Setting:

A young girl's life gets turned upside-down in this tragic second a day video....

The video is about a little girl who is living an extremely happy and healthy life when there is a changeover to where she is sad and has lost everything that she wants. She can’t have the same life style as before. At the start she is in the house with her family and friends and she is celebrating her birthday. In the house they use a lot of artificial lighting e.g. light bulbs and lampshades to create a happy, enjoyable atmosphere in the first scene.

 This image shows the skyline of London which indicates that this campaign video is set in London. The girl is walking through a park and you can see the London Eye. The colour of the sky looks like a typical British autumn day. The weather is very dull and grey, similar to her facial expression as seen in the eye level shot.

Costume:
At the start she is wearing a white dress and white symbolizes innocence and purity. Later she is wearing her school uniform this shows us that she is still a child, then throughout the advert her clothes become very rough and dirty this is due to the conflict going on around her.

 Props;
The use of props in this video helps to show the audience how the young girl is touched by what is happening and what she is going through. The young girl is seen at the beginning wearing different clothing in the various shots, this shows the audience the young girl’s lifestyle as being …. The writer also uses different props to show her family life, for example the video starts with her family and friends celebrating her 9th birthday with a cake and different birthday’s balloons. The next clip shows that she is having breakfast, eating bread with chocolate spread. Then the young girl is dressing up in cloths, the props used were lipstick and a hat.

 The mask was resenting her by giving her lots of mask to use as a prop as while she was wearing different ones in the clip to see where she is at that time off day also they used the gas mask to show that she is trying to get away from something and showing that there is war or someone is acting the place that she is at the moment of day. This clip is showing use how she is based in the scenes and also how she was moving around in the car with her family to go to safety she had to go to the hospital to get checked out and looked after they was different kind of props that was used in the hospital and she was

 

  shots :


The different type of shots that was used to make this short clip that was used by the producer is that they are shot and to see the dissimilar shorts and they movement that they are showing at the shots goes pass and to see what they are trying to show under the line to the short clip and see how the young girl how she is feeling from the moment of time and the shots that was used to make this is to make us understand the meaning behind the story  of the littrle girls life and how we are meant to support her.

 

Sound

 There is different kind of sound that she is making us listen to while the clip was playing and it was moving faster than I thought it was going to be also while the different shots were coming up at different times. There were different sounds in the backgrounds to show what the young girl is feeling and hearing, the music in the back ground was more deeply emotional because while they are showing the young girl in the moment of time that she was feeling with the sound effects that was going crazy. 

There are so many different sounds within the video, but at the very start there is a very little sound as she is happy, until the rumbling start to happen as the war had began. There are also diegetic sounds from the TV and the radio as it playing what on the news

Summary

Before watching this campaign video about the young girl that has no name, my understanding was that it is supposed to remind us to be aware of the other countries in crisis and war zones.

  1. David, you need to check the layout of this as I cannot read it all! Please publish in one colour as I think you've used black text, that can't be read. From what I can see: you are strong on mise en scene, with plenty of detail. No need to list every shot here! You do touch on sound , although these areas could be expanded on. I cannot see anything on editing of camera / shots? You need to add some print screens to illustrate. Vanessa
