degenerate 526 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 It's the same shot as the one that begins the film. It is one shot, broken by some other quick edits to the guys picking up the money. The camera focuses on Gaga, we see a part of the group stepping over/around her, the camera zooms in on her body, then pans up to reveal the other half of guys walking up the hill. It's not spelled out, but it's pretty clear. I guess it depends who's watching it. The initial shot that opens the video is very chaotic and haphazard. I'm not focused on where each person is going. The focused aerial shot is where they should've made that distinction for the sake of a smooth, flowing visual instead of "Oh well you should be able to figure it out yourself" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughdancy 282 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Gaga needs to stop directing her own videos. There are many mistakes in all the videos she (co)directed. She simply isn't talented for the job. You didn't necessarily lie While there is something there Gaga shines when she takes her ideas and bounces them off other people and truly hones her creativity with talented professionals e.g. Bad Romance, BTW.

Yes, she should continue coming up with the CONCEPTS for her videos, but leave the directing to the professionals.

It's just putting 2 and 2 together, and I'm confident at least 95% of viewers didn't notice to begin with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The artist can leave us to put 2 and 2 together when it's purposefully meant for us to do so. That isn't the case here. It's just an oversight/lack of attention to detail.

androiduser 7,438 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 To me, the funniest thing is that - if someone actually asked Gaga about this, she would come up with some bizarre answer that it was an artistic comment on the society's treatment of disabled gingers, or something like that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Gaga needs to stop directing her own videos. There are many mistakes in all the videos she (co)directed. She simply isn't talented for the job. G.U.Y. is miles better than the Born This Way era videos she directed. At least she's improving. I would prefer for her to use professional directors though and not take it into her own hands. I feel like she just really wanted to direct this one after all the **** that went on during ARTPOP Yes, she should continue coming up with the CONCEPTS for her videos, but leave the directing to the professionals. I agree 100% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope she lets others do the directing, she already has enough on her plate. The Taylor Brigade: KNOCKOUT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
