Lana Del Rey ‘Born to Die’

Clip: 2:18 – 2:48

Page 2: Storyboarding research task

Shot 1

2:18 – 2:20

The first shot seen in the 30 second clip is a tracking shot following the road in the dark. This is reflective of lyric in the song ‘The Road is long’, but also gives the effect the car is moving and is a perspective shotfrom the actors point of view.

Shot 2

2:21 – 2:22

The first shot then cuts to a crane shot that moves upwards in front of the car whilst it still appears to be moving.As the camera moves up over the bonnet we see a two shot of both Lana and the male actor, setting the scene and allowing the audience to see the tension in the car.

Shot 3

2:23 – 2:26

This shot then cuts to a extreme close up shot of Lana through the car passenger window. In this shot Lana wipes the condensation of f the window. Here through the gap created in the condensation the audience are able to see her facial expression. By doing this, it almost reflects a last attempt to escape this doomedrelationship.

Shot 4

2:26 – 2:30

This then cuts to a close up shot of the male actor through the window screen. This again shows his facial expression and as he looksleft towards Lana, it almost gives the impression thathe knows himself that it can’t possibly end in a good way. This also reflects the tension in the car as they aren’t interacting.

Shot 5

2:30 – 2:34

This then cuts to a mid shot of Lana sat in the throne in the cathedral style location . This allows the audience to see the location of the shotas this is highly importantwhen understanding the video as its meaning isn’t clear to begin with. By being able to see the religious location, we can tell that she has gone to heaven.

Shot 6

2:30 – 2:34

In the same shot Lana makes reference to the lyric ‘Lets go get high’, by moving her hand towards her mouth and pretending to smoke drugs. This instantly emphasises how this relationship is bad for her.

Shot 7

2:35 – 2:40

This then cuts to a close up shot of Lana still holding her hand in the same position as she finishes off this verse ofthe song. This is reflective of Steve Archers ideas about how ‘the meat of a music video are cuts to close ups of the singers face’. There is still reference to the drugtaking.

Shot 8

2:41 – 2:43

This shot shows the car travelling along the road, which is reflective of the lyric ‘The road is long’. Again this is also referenceto the relationship.The fact that the car is travelling in the dark isalso reflective of the relationship.

Shot 9

2:44 – 2:45

This then cuts to a close up shot of the male actor driving the car. He continues to look straight ahead this time but again the audience can see that they aren’t interacting hinting at tension in the car.

Shot 10

2:45 – 2:46

We then see a close up of Lana sat in the passenger side of the car looking slightly to the left, and she has a serious facial expression. Her body language and the fact that she isn’t looking at him reflects the tension and possibly hints how unhappy she is in the relationship.

Shot 11

2:47 – 2:49

In the final shot of the 30 second clip we see Lana sat in the throne again through the use of a mid shot combined with a crane shot. Her the camera slowly moves upwards perhaps hinting at her journey to heaven . In this shot we also see her look to the left just before the shot ends, perhaps hinting at how she is angry at him for the way it ended.
