My three chosen videos were all by Rainie Yang. The videos are Guo Min, Ai Mei, and Breathless. I like the artist but I really don't understand the meaning of the songs. I just heard these on some drama series that I've watched. Based on their videos, I can see that they are all sad love songs. All the videos revolve around a girl who experienced love but later on she was left all alone.
In the Guo Min video, the girl seems to have nothing to do with her life. She lives alone in her house. She just used up all her energy being depressed and miserable. She recalls her life with her loved one. She always cries and goes to their dating place. She seems to have difficulty moving on and looks like she cannot live without the guy.
The story of the video is nice but I can't get a good look of the guy. Maybe because I just watched it from the internet. But only during the reminiscing part that it seemed bright. I find the video intriguing because it was not clear if the guy jumped off the window and then die. But I think he really did jumped because the girl repeated that same scenario, wearing the same jacket and at the same spot. And she was looking down. I think the girl jumped also. But I can never be sure because it was not shown in the video.
In the Ai Mei video, the girl was in a beach and remembering things with her guy. This is same with Guo Min because the girl lives alone. She was staying in a place where all their memories together were kept. They have pictures and even videos. The place was not well maintained that cold air and snow could enter. The girl looks pathetic that she just let the snow cover her as she recalls her past and watch their sweet videos.
The story of the video itself was not clear on how the girl ended up all alone. But for those who have watched Devil Beside You, they will have an idea of what the video symbolizes. I like the effect on how the snow slowly covers the place. And also the effects of the ice to the girl's body, how it formed on her face and hair. It was also not clear if the girl was frozen to death because of too much cold. But I like it that way because we can think of our own ending. The girl might or might not have survived that extreme condition.
The third video is Breathless in English. This is similar to the previous two that the girl is living along. The differences are the girl is locked up inside a glass thing and she hasn't found her love yet. She is still looking and dreaming for it. She was able to find her love and had wonderful memories. Unfortunately, that happiness did not last long. The girl was left alone again.
I like how all her furniture fit into her tiny place. The effect when they dramatically parted was good although it does not use high level graphic arts. I don't like her hair in this video but she still managed to look cute. Her red dress is well suited in the video.
Maybe I will be able to appreciate the videos more if only I can understand mandarin…
