Textual analysis - sophie

for my textual anaylsis i choose Miles Kane - come closer, my sheet shows how i analyised the camera shot/movement/angle, i pointed out that this kept the audiences attention through quick paced shots of short durations (1-3 seconds) if they did happen to be longer than this it was most likely that a shot was zooming in out out.  whilest singing the chourus the camera focused on th girls dancing suggesting to the audience that he wants to be closer to the girl the final "ooooh" & "ahhhh" shows quick shots of 1-2 seconds of dancing women and
violence.
The mise-en-scene shows dark colours such as dark blues and reds the lighting is gritty and the set seems to be smokey. the clip with the girl dancing on stages with Miles watching her shows red lighting suggesting a sexual element. it seems that miles and this girl have sort of a lust and passionate affair going on with them both having close ups on either there eyes or mouth, the maority being after one another.
the basic narrative is that miles is in love with th dancer and she loves him too but she isnt allowed to stop dancing because she owes her "pimp". a sub plot is the undercover police officer trying to bust the pimp because of either this or some other offence hes made. the officer however gets found out and gets beaten up.
the themes of this like many other indie music videos has the style of council house run down england, the skin heads and the gangsters remind the audinnce of 80's england and the song also has that kind of tone, fitting quite nicely.
