Lenka's second video of her song called "Heart Skips a Beat", is not only addicting to watch but really fun! In the video she spends until one minute and thirty four seconds being "operated on", like the classic game called 'Operation'. This game consists of a player attempting to take out and put back in again a specific part of the board's body. Touch the rim of the hole of say, a kidney, and the buzzer buzzes, making you loose that turn. She then is taken off of the table and dances around in stunning choreography.
The setting of this video was VERY limited, as it was done in only two takes. It is VERY visible when the transition between takes is given. The actors in the video do a good job making sure to let you know that each take is consistent. While Lenka is being 'operated' on, the white hands doing the procedure are always clapping, snapping and putting bones and organs into the little slots. My favourite part of the movie is the choreography from 2:26 to 2:40. Beautiful stuff!!
Mostly the camera angles are Medium shots, close ups and long shots. Because of the only two takes 'thing' going on, Lenka has a limited variety of choices to play around with. Other way, in the hospital-like setting it really works well. The transitions could be better, though, between takes. Much smoother, but they kept to the no-special effects that goes on.
There really isn't a specific target audience that Lenka is going for. The song deals with, as the lyrics give away, love. The lyrics are of a girl who is deciding weather or not to accept a man's love. So that being said, perhaps the target audience is young adults...?
I love this song quite an amount but it isn't what really catches me. The music video is what I love best, and that is solely for the reason of choreography. It is simple and yet displays Lenka as a cute, and very bouncy individual!
Love and Hugs,
The NA
