Don't Speak - No Doubt

The video begins in a forest where a man picks off a fruit the scene reminds me of the Adam and eve story only this one has a dark twist in which the fruit is rotten. There is the fly which features on the album cover on which this song is featured. Close up of mans head where the fly was the song begins. there is a different location which is less of a fantasy and more realife. we hear the man brush his head the camera goes to a medium shot the first cords played on the guitar which starts the camera moving it remains a medium shot allowing band members to enter and exit the shot. The man on the guitar does not look at Gwen Stephani as if upset or disappointed. A close up of Gwen Stephani shows her emotion as she looks of to a distance, extreme close up of the drum player shows us what she was looking at he shows no emotion when he looks up showing us he is hurt and and angry towards Gwen Stephani. The camera has movement through the whole song so it feels like a story you are following like a book or you are a by stander watching the scene unfold. The main focus is always on Gwen Stephani because she is the lead singer, when Gwen is in some shots and the band members are behind they are blurred out. There is a continuity error because when Gwen is in front of the drummer and the base player, the guitarist is on the left hand side of the drummer but when it goes closer up and removes Gwen from the shot he has gone also even though they only zoomed in. Use of archive footage is a flash back and a memory of what the band was like they made eye contact and had a connection and energy. The use of glitter and a cross dissolve to another memory, this connects with the word she is saying "our memories they can be exciting..." it feels like we are in her mind. long shot of the band their lighting is different dark and gloomy unlike Gwen Stephani which is bright and gives her a glow. There is a close up of Gwen but this time she is blurred out and the band is in focus we see them discussing something. Returns back to the garage back to basics maybe where there career all began and where they want to end it so the scene has a connection with the artist simple natural light unlike the stage light. darker images of the man's memories as if it is fading before his eyes close up of his expression as he replays the memory. As the music plays we see the seen that explains all the tension for those who don't keep up with the music magazines or watch it in the future. Where the photo shoot is reminds me of the beginning with the garden of Eden it is as if Gwen Stephani is eve and picked the forbidden fruit. they combine the memory with the present by making her catch the flowers she threw out to the audience. The video ends by rewinding the beginning so he places the fruit on the tree as if closing the story.
