Research Main Task-Timed Analysis- She Wolf (David Guetta ft. Sia)

David Guetta- She Wolf Ft. Sia

I choose to analysis this video as i wanted to compare different music videos together. This video is more of a narrative video as the camera and song tell the story about a wolf. Even though this has nothing to do with youth;it does carry the same conventions of the narrative story line which will involve into our own music video.


0:00-0:09- A long shot of a women standing with her back to the camera, naked. There is no music playing at this point, just the sound of waves crashing below the cliff on which the women is standing on.
0:10-0:14- A panning shot of a white landscape.
0:16-0:24 - Blurred long shot of the wolf running, before extreme close up of the wolfs features, the camera primarily focuses on the wolfs blood stained fur.
0:24-0:27/ POV shot from the wolfs point of view as its gets chased.
0:27-0:40- A lot of close up and jump shots of the wolf,arrows, the sleigh and the dogs.
0:40-0:43- A long shot if the wolf running in the snow
0:47-0:53- Long shot and panning which follows the sleigh casing the wolf
0:56-1:00- Edited in close up of blood on the ice
1:00-1:27-Different shots such as close ups, over the shoulder and 180 degree used to show the hunters getting ready to try and shoot the wolf, but it manages to get away and then as the hunters corner it.
1:30-1:45 - During the instrumental part it the shots are very slow paced, and there are a lot of flashing editing cuts. Throughout though,bthe camera keeps the wolf in full focus.
1:45-1:52- Another long shot of the wolf running across an open plain. ((Dolly or Slider used here))
1:54-2:00- An extreme close up of the wolfs blood stain fur again, and an action shot of the wolf coming into the camera frame as it runs.
2:00-2:06- Exreme close ups of horses hooves trotting on the ground, and then a Exreme close up of the tail and hind legs as it gallops.
2;06-2:12- Low shot of the wolf running, which mimics its head action as it runs.
2:12-2:16- Another low shot of the horses legs and the riders legs in the stirrup
2:16-2:22 High to low panning shot from the sky then pans down to the chase in which we see the two riders chasing the wolf who is just a few meters away.
2:27-2:29 : Behind the shoulder shot of another wolf in a cave watching out as the main wolf runs past.
2:34-2:36- Distance shot of the wolf running up a cliff.
2:36-2:39 - High Angled shot of the riders dismounting

2:52-2:55- Edited in shot of the wolf standing there, whilst the cliff starts beating around it.
2:56-2:59- 180 degree shot of the wolf and hunters staring st each other.
3:00-3:14- Slow paced shots during the instrumental
3:14-3:17- Camera pans away from the cliff slowly that now only has the wolf on top
3:18-3:28- Arial shots of the scenery
3:28-3:33- Low extreme close up of the wolfs paws as she walks along.
3:33-3:36- Long, blurred shot of the wolf walking to the end of the cliff as it transforms.
3:36-3:40- Camera now focues on the naked women with her back to the camera.
3:41-3:44- Camera slow pans closer to the women and goes from a long shot yo a close up.
3:44-3:50- Panning shot from the back of the women's head to the front of her face.
3:51-3:58- Distance shot of the women overlooking the cliff. The music has now cut out and the audience can't only hear the waves.

  2. be careful with your terminology Distance shot of the wolf running up a cliff = Long shot/wide shot?
