Influential music video: Lana Del Rey - Blue Jeans

Blue Jeans uses a black and white filter throughout the video, the chosen location is a summer scene in a wealthy home with a man and women who resemble a couple. The Pair are seen to be situated around the swimming pool, throughout the video there is a lot of reference to water in the way it is used, for example we see some above shots of the male diving into the water and the video opens with a blurred shot of Lana in front of a ripple of water. The water highlights the different use of light as the sun reflects off and we can see this through the black and white filter, also it gives the feeling of calming and relaxation.
As the video goes on we begin to see the use of special effects for example the male is seen to be blurry when he is undressing, Lana refers to him in the lyrics at this point, to heighten the passion. Moreover we see the couple floating around in the water together to show their deep emotion for each other, the use of the above shot here allows the audience to witness the beauty of their intimacy. The different paces in the beat make the couple either act soothing and loving or fast and rough, the male is seen to have pushed Lana underneath the water which occurs when the chorus kicks in, as this fades we see a corner shot from under the water of dancers who are very slow and therapeutic. This is made even more interesting by the inter cutting shots.
