Runaway Love - Analysed

In this blog i am going to upload the pictures (screenshots) from the video which i discussed in my previous blog; Runaway Love - Ludacris featuring Mary J. Blige. The scenes which i have chosen are specially meaningful and useful due to their link to my idea for my video. Firstly this scene shows a girls sitting alone by her self, the video at the start shows quite a few different girls like this, about 10 or 15 different girls, which then re-appear at the end of the video with Mary J. Blige when she does her solo.

In this scene, the featured actor is recognised, Mary J. Blige, she is shown as well as the starting credits for the video like the ones i will have to create for my video, it includes song name, the artists, the album and the producer or company.

In this scene, the first story has begun and it shows the two actors, one main and one not so important within the story. but it also shows Ludacris sitting in the back whilst he sings. I have had this idea, to put the band in the background of my videos, so that it gives it the effect of a music video whilst having a story to it, much similar to this video which also became famous for it.

In this scene, the second story has begun and it is showing how she is a Runaway Love. Again, Ludacris is in the back of the scene, dark, mysterious and focused out of the shot, not so important, but yet, it he is actually still effective in the background. in the next shot it shows the girl from the second story to be running past Mary J. Blige, this happened to the first girl also, this is effective that both actors have had moments in the video with both singers; it shows that everything is connected and nothing is random, that this isn't some movie or video and that's just the music that's accidentally playing in the background, this is a music video with singers who sing in it, but it also has a short movie in it as well, to show moral of the story.

In this shot, Ludacris is yet again sitting in the back, singing, and the camera changes focus from him to her, which i thought would be quite effective to use in my video, even though I need to learn how to do it first and to practice it. this girl is from the last story in this video.
