COMPOSITIONS
AND LAYOUT

2. Attention by Charlie Puth
The composition of this music video is centered. This is supposed to show the artist,
Charlie Puth, sitting in the center of the bottom of the bed looking straight at the
audience. This image reflects the song. Charlie Puth sings ‘Got me thinking about when
you were mine’.This image shows him thinking. He is also sat alone on the bed meaning
that she is no longer his at this point in the song.The lights are positioned each side of
the bed, maybe suggesting that they both used to be used before she left. Now he says
all she wants is attention.

The composition of this music video is split into three thirds.This is supposed to show
the artist, Shawn Mendes, in the middles of the image looking straight at the audience.
This image reflects the song.The words of the song are ‘Something big I feel it
happening’. This image shows him and his friends walking along the street towards
something.This could suggest that they are walking towards the ‘something big’ that is
happening. His friends are positioned each side of him which suggests that he is the
main focus for the audience. The lighting is bright implying that it is a good thing that is
going to happen.
