Four songs to lip sync! 2/4

This is my second video that i have chosen to watch take inspiration from. I have chosen this video since i think the lyrics could have many different meanings and could have different meaning when lip synced and not watched with the video.                                          

  Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars





This video does not have any real meaning behind it, it is split between people relating it to a romantic song or a break up song and the artists themselves said it is as what you make it out to be yourselves. T

he editing is slow to keep up pace with the songs beat and lyrics. In the music video Gary Lightbody lies on open ground as cameras film him from different angles. It starts raining, splashing his face and hands. Gary enters a pool of water next to him and in the end of the video, he gets out of the water, rises on his feet and looks up at the camera as it zooms out overhead.

If I was to make this myself i would keep it in one shot and just use the lead singer on his own and have him engage the audience with the camera and i would keep the editing and tempo slow all the way through rather than using so many camera angles that the original as did.  The denotation of the lyrics of the chorus ‘if I lay here’, is physically represented by him lying on the floor of each location he is in. Near the end of the video he is lying on the floor at the top of an escalator, people then walk over him like he isn’t even there, this may be used to represent how invisible and lonely he may feel.
