Video Analysis 2 - How to say I love you

I really love this video because of the message it portrays and the relevance it has to modern society. Every one uses Facebook and other social networking sites but don't use as much face to face contact as we used to.
I also really like location and cinematography used. The director has kept it very simple and only used one location, a park, which is a place that has connotations of fun, spending time with friends and in general being a social space. This then emphasizes that although people use social spaces, there is still a stigma of talking to strangers and extending friendship. The cinematography is cleaver in the way that there has been a mixture of long shots, close ups and mid shots which keep being used. At the beginning there is a close up of the girls feet and then the boys feet come into the shot. I think this is a very effective and unusual.
