https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awtiZEiiAE8 Music video for Embody by SebastiAn 2:30-2:46 I think these shots speak to me particularly because of the song itself. The music video has a really great "feeling good" vibe to it. From the beginning you get the impression that the people are unaware or ignoring the kid dancing around them. I think the last two shots kinda sum up the point of the video. The last couple of shots, you see a girl who is listening to the song, dancing in her room. The dancing boy from the video is dancing along with her. You see her dad walking up the stairs, entering the room complaining about the noise level. At that point he turns off her radio and the boy disappears. The next shot she turns on the song again and the boy returns, dancing along with her. I think these shots really speak to me because the idea of music is so abstract. I think this way, the last couple of shots sum up the theme of the music video and add a visual confirmation that the boy is actually just the spirit of the song and when all the people in the music video listened to Embody, the spirit of the song came alive. I think the other shots are also just incredibly telling of what music is, because in many of the shots, there are people doing a bunch of random things and thats really what music is about the randomness of it all. I chose this song to discuss because it the song that has brought me great happiness and is the song that's set me to have the life ambitions that I have today.
