Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love



Textual Analysis...

- Immediately the video starts wth voyeurism; through the window of the apartment building showing the different people in their own bedroom.
- Cuts to different women, probably all sharing the same problem (a broken heart), some crying - make up running down their faces - a typical convention.
- Leona in diffent outfits, one extremely glamorous, glitzy dress. The other black one is simple and plain.
- Leona sitting in the hallway shown through medium shots, and close ups.
- Cut of a girl sitting on her bed, bedroom is messy and she's looking at photographs, shown from a birds eye view and long shot.
- Man walking away from the bedroom, through an extreme long shot, emphasises that he's leaving.
- Rolling around on bed, staring at camera, makes it seem like the camera is upside down.
- A different girl looks at the phone to her watch - waiting for the guy.
- Hair pulling/stroking.
- Hand gestures and wind blowing the hair backwards.
- A man brings a girl a bunch of flowers. So all is happy in the end(!)
- Ends with voyeurism again and each light goes off in each apartment.
