Filming the Bridge

On Sunday the 24th of September I filmed the bridge of the song. This entailed creating my own backdrop out of card, in a small corner of my home - my setup is shown below:

The bridge was filmed in one continuous close up shot. I choose this angle to replicate Lana's conventions in her video- as it creates intimacy through my actress actively expressing to the viewer, how passionate she is about the relationship. This angle was also good for capturing detail: the facial expressions and lyric reinforcing hand gestures made by the artist. Loneliness is also a key theme to the video, which I think has been reinforced through the viewer only being able to see the artist with no understanding of where she is.
