Music video analyzed 5

Bring Me To Life - Evanescence:


The video starts by setting the scene, and showing the audience futuristic buildings and signs. As the camera approaches Amy lee, we go there an open window with the curtains hanging out of it, they give the scene movement to make it more believable.

The audience sees that Amy is sleeping, and then the scene jumps to Amy falling; the audience believe this to be her dreaming. The scene then jumps back to her in her bed confirming the audiences’ idea.

After some time the camera leaves Amy’s room and goes to the one above, which is were the rest of the band is performing. When the camera goes back to Amy, see wake’s up and starts to more around the room. This fits with the song lyrics, as she looks spaced out and almost confused.

She climbs out of the window and starts to move round the outside of the building. She walks pat window after widow and no one notices her, she then starts to climb to the next level of the building.

The scene keeps jumping from Amy walking past other windows, to the band. This shows a time frame and reminds the audience that both these things are happening at the same time. Amy climbs another level so that she is outside the window of the band’s room.

One of the band members opens the window and Amy falls off the ledge, the audience think that her nightmare will come true but her caches the ledge, saving herself. The band member struggles for some time to help her back onto the ledge, and the audience isn’t sure whether he’ll be able to achieve it. But she slips out of his hands and she fall.


But the camera cut to her still sleeping in her bed, and video finishes in the revers way that it started.
