Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed The song Starry Eyed is song wrote to reach out to everybody from every sort sort of background and enjoyment. The song manages to be folky, poppy and dancey all at the same time. The video for Starry Eyed shows Ellie Goulding in various costumes and settings of the venue as well as two acrobatic backup dancers dressed in fringe leotards. The video uses a visual styling effect used generally in sporting analysis called StroMotion which created the unique look of Ellie and the dancer's echoes, reverses and reverberations as they dance to the beat of the song. There is no particula plot or story to the video and in the artists words it's about letting go. As opposed to all the sad and depressing things I write about, I decided to write something about the joining together of people in some kind of euphoric state—be it at a festival, at a show or in a club. This shows us the video does link the song as you just see you artist is some sort of euphoric state, having fun and letting go.
The next video I am analysing is Ellie Goulding- Your song. The Video for you song is very different to Starry Eyed. Your song a cover from the orginal by Elton John is a slow song with a more specific meaning possibly targeted at a smaller audience than Starry Eyed. Your Song is a mix of both folk and jazz with lyrics expressing more meaning of romantic thoughts. Shot in a Super 8 style with a home video look, it depicts Ellie's life on the road with friends. Areas from Goulding's hometown of Hereford can be seen throughout the video including Hereford railway station. The video includes shots of her out in the country and everyday places such as at home or in the forest. The costume is also 'evryday clothes with a scarf and jumper making her look no different to the 'every day' person. This look appeals to the audince as they feel they can really relate to it.
