Fight For This Love Timings

Cheryl Cole- Fight for this love

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4umc87T5UMs&ob=av2e

I looked at this music video to see where the lyrics and images were related.

Throughout the whole video cheryl is singing in sync with the lysics heard and she and thedancers are always dancing to the beat of the song.

- 42 seconds in the lyrics say "just know that you're not in this thing alone" as the shot changes from one of Cheryl on her own to one with her and the group of dancers. This makes the video seem more personal to to the audience as if Cheryl is thlking to them as an individual.

- 57 seconds in is the first chorus and it cuts to the image of cheryl in her military style which a analysed in the previous post. She is saluting just before the lyrics say "we've got to fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love" and it then cuts back to the group of dancers. This mis en scene highlights the word 'foght' in the song.

- 1 min 35 seconds in the lyrics say "all you can do is make the best of it" as Cheryl points towards the camera to address the audience. Again, this makes it personal for the audience.

- 1 min 40 seconds in the lyrics say "can't be afraid of the dark" and the shot changes from Cheryl on a black background to her on a white background. This makes the contrast between light and dark visible on screen to emphasise the lyrics.

- 1 min 45 seconds in the lyrics say "just know that you're not in this thing alone, there's always a place with me that you can call home" as Cherly hugs a dancer. This visualises the lyrics as if she has a friend and is not alone.

- 2 min 14 seconds in there is another chorus saying "we've got to fight, fight, fight, fight, fight for this love" as there is a shot of her in a tiger print jumper and she has her fists up ready to fight. Again, this visualises the lyrics and the idea of fighting for something if it is worth fighting for.

- 2 min 37 seconds in the lyrics say "we've been drivind so fast we just need to slow down and just roll" as the beat stops and the music slows down slightly. The beat comes back in 2 min 45 seconds in. This draws the audience in to the video as they feel the music slow down and speed up.
