Radiohead - "No surprises" Evaluation
This clip helps us to explore the idea of filming underwater. the moment where the singer is emerged, there is a feeling of peace as his eyes are closed and he is holding his breath. However the longer he is underwater the more the audience feels tense. The camerawork, use of close ups, suggests an intimacy with the audience, also adding focus onto the singer with this close up. this clip made me think about the effects of the frame, with water and the dangers with water in the shot. For example the face could become distorted if the water isn't as still as possible, this could provide humour when not wanted. This clip is also very much the same in the way that the shot is constant and therefore this could bore the viewer.
The rising water, provides tension and worry in the audience, we could use the length of the time spent underwater to our advantage to make the audience feel on edge due to the suspense of running out of breath. These of the water's refection of the light could be used to our advantage, making the mystery all the more enhanced. The change in lighting provides as a sense of change in time with the music and the different colours place us in the moment, as they almost replicate water.
