Shot Count

In the video I counted around 250 shots that were used throughout the video which included lots of close ups, fast paced editing of different characters involved in the video to show the situation that is going on with the characters. Most of the fast paced editing scenes where montages of close ups to show the characters and what they were doing, this is to show the situation as the male is cheating with his girlfriends mother so these shots help us show the situation clearly. Laura Mulvey talks about a theory in which includes "the male gaze" which is when the females are dressed or shown to be seductive for the males to gaze at and in this music video the females mother is made out to be like this at times.
