9 Frame analysis

0:10 In this scene the lyrics say “Who’s that girl there” and there is a medium shot of a girl who could be perceived as unkept and in the background there is a housing estate where someone like her would live.

0:13 The very next scene shows the same girl stood on a balcony of what we assume is the housing blocks that we see in the scene before and she is smoking a cigarette.

0:18 This is a medium-long shot and it shows the girl walking away with a man and the lyrics to this shot say “I doubt she does receipts” which sways us to think she may be a prostitute.

0:28 In this shot we see a medium shot of the man taking food from her plate with his knife and fork and the lyrics to this say “Give him half a chance, I’ll bet he’ll rob you if he can” so this is a perfect example of illustration.

0:43 “he told Roxanne to put on her red light.” This shot shows the man meeting up with the girl and the lyrics make us think of the red light district and we’ve already established we think she may be a prostitute and this aids us in this idea.

1:49 In this shot we see a few men packing some stuff into a car and the lyrics say “They say he changes when the sun goes down” which leads us to think, what is he going to do? The lyrics just before this say “I start to wonder what his story might be.”

2:27 This shot is a close up and shows the girl outside and she is looking quite upset, the lyrics say “She must be fucking freezing.”

3:01 Medium close up as he leans in to kiss her cheek the lyrics say “What a scummy man” and this is nearly the end of the song and throughout the full song he is going to see her and we think she’s a prostitute so this makes us think he has been paying her for sex.

3:10 This shot starts as a medium shot and zooms in to a close up to show his eyes more as the lyrics say “Can see it in his eyes yeah, that he’s got a nasty plan.”
