(several choruses)
The boys, the girls, they all like Carmen
She gives them butterflies, bats her cartoon eyes
She laughs like God, her mind's like a diamond
Audio tune lies, she's still shining
Like lightning, whoa, like lightning

- Knife- A knife is used in cooking to cut things therefore it would put more emphasis on the fact that the girl is cutting her wrists showing she is upset and something is wrong. A knife also symbolises violence which is how the girl is acting towards her self in this side of her life.
Costume
I decided to smudge her makeup again like a previous scene i shot of her taking the drugs. This is to emphasise to the audience that this is again her negative life and helps create continuity. I basically used the same costume as the last part again to reinforce this continuity in her negative life. However this time i chose to put her hair in a messy bun on the top of her head. The reason i chose to do this was because when a person takes drugs they may sweat, this is the body's form of defense to get it out of their system. By doing this it is showing that it is after she had taken the drugs and she is on something which is what i wanted my character to act like when she was singing towards the audience in the chorus which i think she did quite well. The messy bun was also to symbolise how messy her life really is and how she doesn't know whether she is going forwards or backwards it also shows that in this side of her life she isn't bothered about the way she looks because she is under the influence of harmful substances.

Mise En scene
The location for this was set in the bathroom. The reason I chose this room was because in a bathroom it gives off the idea of hygeine and cleanliness which is ironic as the character at this point in the video is not clean or hygeinic she is taking drugs, alcohol, slitting her wrists. It also shows her in an everyday setting reinforcing that she still is a person trying to live a normal life. Bathroom are also known to be cold and stoney again symbolising herself on this bad side.

Cinematography
The main shots in this were close ups or mid close ups. This is to make the audience feel close to the character and to emphasise this is what her real life is like opposed to the happy life which uses quite a few distant shots, again showing us the character that we actually know on the close up and that we are close enough to her for her to reveal our secret to us helping the audience create empathy.

Post Production
I used the clips in the bathroom several times for the chorus however I tried to rearrange them at different times to make it more interesting. Again I put the affect 50's TV and Aged film to keep the continuity throughout the video which is the effects that are put on the remind the audience which lifestyle the character is living in, at this point it is the negative one. To remind you, the black and white is done to connote the misery and dark like she lives in when shes in the negative world. This is how she see's life from her eyes, dark and cold. I also put a fade for the first 2 lines shown above because they come from when she is singing to the camera, i did this to show her remembering what she does in her negative life and what she hides off screen from the real world.

What would i rethink about?
When I filmed the knife spinning it would of been better if the object was central in the shot however it was hard as it kept moving when i span it.
