This video is a combination of narrative and performative
The colors of the video seem to be
on the cooler side for most of the video, maybe to convey that what she was
doing by running away with the boy was wrong or “rebel” Then it switches at the
beginning and again at the end when showing the sheets on the clothesline to a
brighter color and more light. The rhythm
of the video follows the song at a rapid pace.
Some of the key moments in the video are the scenes at the beginning
with the sheets hanging on the close line, and then they are repeated at the
end of the video for emphasis. These are
shown in a brighter color than the rest of the video seems to be, creating a sense
of alertness and you take notice.
The camera is still and moves depending on the scene. When they show Sara singing it is still, but
then when telling the story, it moves with the actors and adds drama.
