Avicii – Silhouettes
In the song, the lyrics are
related to the visuals, for example taking big steps in life as we see the main
character in the hospital talking to the doctor about some kind of surgical
operation however it is not revealed to us what it is. The video lyrics are
quite clear however the real story behind the video is not revealed to us until
the end of the video.
In the video we don’t see
any lip sync as we only see the artist represented once. But during the part of
the video where the guy is walking in the corridor we see the lights strobes in
sync with the rhythm of the song. We also see a glimpse of the instrument in
the apartment. We also see the people in the club dancing to the rhythm. Some
body gestures are in sync with the song as well. Also some of the camera shots
are in sync with the rhythm as well, for example the camera shots are changed
during a different beat.
We see the artists name and
the song represented at the start of the video. We also see the artist in one
of the shots in the TV slicing up the cucumber. Quite few brands are shown
throughout the video such as the alcoholic beverage names on the table or the
“red bull” drink or the clock brand.
In the video we also see
some representations of voyeurism. We see a shot of one of the females doing
their makeup, also we see a shot of them walking and the shot focuses below the
waste. However we do seem some notice of
the main character looking at us at the parts of the video.
The song genre is mainly
dance, and this is represented through the quite fast paced rhythm, shot cuts
on the video and also the lighting being colorful in a dark environment such as
the club.
