Mercy Music Video Deconstruction

Mercy:

- Throughout the whole video, only the themes of black and white are used which can be used to convey many meanings. Common interpretations of this colour coordination could be that it is used to highlight simply good vs. evil, where good is represented by white and evil is represented by black. In other interpretations, black and white could be used to symbolise a struggle of some sort. For example, in Sin City the theme of black and white is used (justice vs. sin) to symbolise this and this is also an example of how a whole film can be portrayed through simply just black and white and be effective still. Schindler's List is another example of a less graphical, yet still effective film. We could use a selection of black and white shots to epitomise the supernatural theme within our trailer. 

- I feel that the constant and steady pan made throughout the start of the video and the rest of the majority, is effective because it demonstrates a passive tone but also, helps the video to progress efficiently.
