Summary Of Original Video - By Bradley

When watching the original video by Nneka i found it surprising as by listening to the song itself i imagined it to be different. The song is a song that talks about love and heartache, so i imagined to see in the video s broken romance of some sort. The was set in Africa and the majority of the scenes was Nneka performing in like a distraught area with random people walking around the streets like everyday life; some scenes included Nneka herself in her home or friends home laughing with a friend and doing her hair, other scenes was of children playing games like table tennis. These images that she hes left with the view don't actually make sense with the song. i didn't find this video to have many many conventions of the genre. The colours used in the video did not complement the tone and beat of the song as the colours that she used were dusty beige's, blacks, browns and khaki greens. her image itself plays a lot in the video as she does not really seem to have tried hard to make herself look good.
We already had an idea of what we wanted to be in our video just by listening to the song itself without watching this video. Our ideas are completely different and will hopefully challenge the conventions of the genre.
