Textual Analysis of Writing's On The Wall - Plan B



Mise en Scene: Three locations are shown in the video, the house belonging to the main male characters wife, the venue of the main males performance and the bar that he goes to towards the end of the video. The lighting is always much darker when the male is in shot compared to the bright natural lighting used in the woman's shots.
Sound: Extra diegetic sound added of a crowd cheering at the beginning and end of the video. There is also a moment in the middle of the video where the main woman has a phone call with the main male.
Camera Angles: Close ups have been used many times to show the emotions of the main characters, they have also been used to show the food that the woman is preparing to show the amount of effort she has put in. Establishing shots have also been used to show change in location and that the woman in left in the house whilst the man is out having fun.
Narrative: The storyline follows a couple who are drifting apart and even though the woman is putting in lots of effort, the male character still has an affair with another woman. The lead woman spends all day making dinner for the man but he goes out with for a drink and leaves her alone.
Titling: No titling has been used in this video.
