Radiohead - "No surprises" Evaluation

This music video effectively demonstrates the use of water. In this video, the water is slowly filling a tank so that once completely filled there is glass between the water and the camera so therefore gives a completely different effect to just filming water. This effect makes the already close up shot zoom in even more which effectively shows the characters face and therefore emotions. This is useful in this clip as it makes it more intense as you can see the distress in his face which you would be feeling as you drown and the relief once he can breathe again. Although it works very effectively in this clip, this would not work for us as we are filming someone in a bath and therefore would make no sense for there to be glass in front of the camera. However the extreme close up is something we should test as it adds a level of intensity to the scene.
