The music video that i will analysing is Chase and status - Time
Purpose of the music video - To promote the songs awareness against domestic violence and also shows a performance from singer.
The music video is presented like a story of a girl that lives with her mum and dad but is unhappy because her dad is an alcoholic and drinks at night away from the children and then turns very violent and attacks and beats up the mother where the daughter can hear and is worried for her mothers wellbeing. It is also shows awareness about abuse and domestic violence and takes this taboo issue head on and does it in a way that illuminates the subject as well as providing a hard- hitting narrative. notably focusing on the effects of alcohol abuse on a normal family. Mainly taken from the viewpoint of a grown-up daughter – the affected bystander who represents Delilah’s vocal – it shows all too convincingly show how her mother and father become locked into a cycle of behaviour with devastating consequences. The song it self is told from the grown up daughter.
There also is a bit of an performance which includes singer Delilah as we can see she is sitting in a a car singing and there is a gloomy atmosphere as there is rain hitting against the windows. the singer is seen as a affected bystander.
Mise en Scene - The the props that the music video uses are a normal middle class family living room and also a scene in a car with rain and a scene in a park which the girl is on a swing. the younger girls bedroom and the parents bedroom, there also is a scene in the bathroom where the mother puts on make up to hide her bruises her partner has given her. there is also a scene on the stairs of the houses where the parents are arguing and the father pushes the mother down the stairs and she lays flat at the bottom of the stairs with no strength to get back up so she stays and lays there.then the daughter uses a phone prop to call the police which come and take the father to jail the last scene is the father in a prison cell and then the mother and daughter go and visit him in jail which there they have a sad reunion. the clothes the parents wore where different they had day and work wear where the mother and father had business suits and blazers as they go to work and when they are at home they wore jeans jumpers dresses and long tops. the daughter wore jeans jumpers and jackets and big coats.
