The original boasts a pulsing mix of darkwave synths and thundering drums, but in the studio, Goulding and James stripped that all way to just piano, programmed backing vocals and some simple snapping.

The director of the music video was: W.I.6, so we put together a playlist of ass-kicking songs you can utilize before then. The camera angles used were high angles, and eye level angles. The camera shots used were medium shots, long shots and extreme long shots. Also includes tilting when she is walking at the beginning its upside down. Also dolly and tracking shots following her feet when she is walking at the beginning at the speed of a ‘casual stroll’. The camera technique used were intercut scenes where everything gets cut quickly and is onto the next scene to create effect. As the artist is lip syncing and also is showing some performance in when she is being lifted in the air and is with her character showing affection, and some of the concept is very symbolized and may be hard to understand for some viewers. The style of this music video is narrative and a small amount of concept and performance.

Also to brand and use her signature hair. Also so it can be shown on music video channels e.g Box, MTV,Chart Show so the audience has something to listen to while the music is playing. Also the purpose was she show and share her heartbreak story through singing and art.

The purpose of the music video is to promote the single ‘Figure 8’ for her new album at the time ‘Halcyon’. In an interview she said ” This song is about being in love with someone who doesn’t love you back, and this is what I wanted to share” Also in he video there is a cameo appearance of her characters ‘lover’ where multiple times he has holding her and sometimes he isn’t, you can also see the pain in his face with the relationship not working, he is a key part in the music video because it shows the person that is causing her pain. In the lyrics of Figure 8 a line that is repeated a lot is ” You promised forever and a day and then you take it all away” explaining more that he has promised her things he cannot keep and explains more of how it hurts and the characters pain. Also she is blindfolded so she is blinded by the relationship and the love for her partner and also trying to find a way out of the figure 8 but cannot see one.Īs Ellie is showing her letting go ‘getting rid of her curse of love’ and you see everything is more brighter lit and more sparkly showing that this is a positive thing Īs she finally lets go at the end of the video, the red silk Through out the video Ellie Goulding the artist in the video holds red silk throughout the song until the end and also she is covered in red silk meaning she is holding onto the love and relationship and is consumed and ‘drowning’. The song/video of Figure 8 is about a relationship and a love for someone who doesn’t love you back so you’re stuck in a figure 8 ( 8 meaning infinite, never ending)
