I watched Zara Larsson's music video for the 'lush life' and made accurate notes on Mise-en-scene, camera shots and editing. Their isn't a big variety of camera movements as the camera is static throughout the music video and only the singer moves, but there are a range of camera shots
Within the editing her age is also shown by adding in animation to match the lyrics. For example at 1:56 the lyrics are "all night all summer" the animations then accompany her in the background by changing from night to summer. The music video has a sense of playfulness to it by the use of editing from the colour filters added and mirroring. An example of this is when she is dancing the shot has been mirrored so in total their are 3 of her and on the extra two a colour filter has been added to make it stand out to the audience.
In parts of the videos Zara is wearing a gold sequined jacket this may link back to the song title 'lush life' as gold is seen as expensive and glamorous. Editing has made the jacket recognisable as the shot has been edited to be black and white but a colour filter has been applied over the jacket to bring out the gold. Their are a range of quick cuts to the beat with a variety length of shots between 1-3 seconds. Another one of her outfits is a white dress which may also represent her age and purity, her make-up compared to the other looks are more mature and is more of a night look.
At the beginning of the video there is an extreme close up of her upper body as she pulls a rose gold locket from her neck which has been filmed/edited to slow motion. The locket may represent love and as it is being thrown away also suggests that she has had a bad experience of it. The first time we see the subject (Zara Larsson) is with a mid close-up, the lighting is dark around her but light in the background this may be because the setting is filmed in a studio with a white backdrop.
The next noticeable camera shot was at 1:34 with a long shot, here we can see her whole outfit which is very basic and dark with trainers. This accurately represents her age and shows how she is only a teenager as she isn't wearing anything too revealing or mature for her age of 17.
