Music Video Influence: Heart On My Sleeve - Olly Murs

This music video, Heart On My Sleeve by Olly Murs has influenced our music video as well the wide range of shots used in the music video really brings out the emotions of the artist, close ups of his face shows his facial expression and close ups of his hands, rubbing his face and holding his head, gives off the idea that he is worried, frustrated or nervous. The use of panning out from a close up to a mid shot then to a long shot, emphasises on the emptiness in his life. The setting is plain and simple, this could mean that if the girl is out of his life, it means that he is nothing with out her. When he walks down the roads, by the river side, it's normally what couples do and makes the audience feel sorry for him, that instead of being with his girlfriend/ the one he loves he is by himself. The lighting is dim and creates a lonely atmosphere of depression.
