Dua Lipa-New Rules https://youtu.be/k2qgadSvNyU
The music video “new rules” by Dua Lipa has a series of aspects
in terms of camera work visual affect mise en scene and so on. All while
telling a story. Right from the beginning you can see the camera work by starting
with a close up into Dua Lipa face, slowly zooming out where you see her lying
on a bed as she talks about how she talks in her sleep at night and how it
makes her crazy. As this music video is based upon her and the one she loves
she is clearly talking about how he makes her feel crazy. The next shot is a
long shot as you get 5 singers in the shot. Also, they could give off the
impression that they are a bit crazy from the way they are completely still but
perfectly in sync showing no emotion. Which goes well with the lyrics. The song
then goes on to talk about the rules she tells herself to help her stay away
from this boy she is obsessed with. Starting
with rule one she attempts to reach out for the phone but is stopped by a
backing singer this goes from a medium close up to a long shot. Where she then
backs up but with the camera coming in close to capture her face in a medium
close up. As she goes on to finish rule 3 she leaves the shot while the camera
is left in a close up on one of the backing singers faces. The next shot the
has Dua Lipa in a long shot with all the backing singers we have seen so far
all in the hall way going into a hand stand as Lipa runs through the middle. This
shows a bit of mis en scen as she is also sing (while she does this) “I’ve got
no rules” and this goes well as they are clearly showing they don’t have to
follow any rules. Then the next shot starts with a close up that goes into a
wide shot. As soon as that shot ends it geos start into a close up again, going
into a long shot this happens again in the next shot as they go from a close up
to wide shot. Once that shot ends they change to a beach scenery which again
goes well with what they are sinning as she repeats “I’ve got no rules”. As the
video come to an end they have about a 5second period of a close-up shots. Before
they go into a long shot instantly changing shot, into another long shot.
