This music video combines live action with the animation technique rotoscoping. I think that the technique is really effective because the narrative suits the style – the woman is reading the drawn-styled comic that then includes her in it during the video. It enhances the narrative and also adds an artistic twist to it in order to make it more of a performance video and increases repeatability. The use of close up shots uses the male gaze because the audience is seeing what the woman is seeing as she reads the comic (notion of looking).
I like the way that the rotoscoping has been used and I may be able to produce a simpler version of this using the ‘line drawing’ effect with the lip-syncing footage that I have used previously. It will not be as detailed in terms of the sketching and shading in this music video but I will try it and post it on a later post.
