The video I have chosen to do is Evanescence – Call me when you’re sober.
In the whole video there are 180 camera shots. A lot of these shots a repeated but this doesn’t make the video boring however. I think this is due to the fact the shots are so fast paced that you don’t always realise. The editor of the video has also done something clever that makes the repetition entertaining. He cuts quickly from story to band a lot and quickly making it seem like he’s not repeating shots but telling a story with two means. There are forty shots in the first minute of the video and a lot of these shots are extreme close-up and close-up of the lead singer Ami-Lee. She is the first person we see in the video, this being aimed towards more of the male audience, as she is an attractive woman. Through the story the man she is singing too is shown in 23 shots, a lot of them two shots or close-up. There are also 49 band shots shown throughout the sequence, the kind of shots range from medium shots all the way up to extreme close-up. The video is about her breaking up with him because he doesn’t appreciate her and a lot of the shots get this message across, apart from the couple of shots she has with the wolves. This doesn’t seem relevant to the story but are beautifully composed shots.
