The production value was quite high. Assuming the tight shots were intended for effect I feel comfortable making this observations.
The clown/circus/troubador motif was cool. But it got a little eerie for my by the sexually suggestive nature and also sadistic nature of the super close camera angle of the clown on the Big Screen tv. It suggests a madman who's sophisticated enough to accomplish his deeds but unaware of social normative behavior; infact he's glued to it. His nerdy shoes and wearing stockings suggests he's effeminate. Her sultry walk and carrying wine, then pouring it on the dead man suggests that she's the real motivation behind the crime - laying upside, singing, suggest she's really the one who's found this mad man and she's figured out a way to live through him and she creates these erotoscapes by simply tuning him to her plans. He thinks he's in control and really it's her.
My take away is that we've just seen a murder and the two singers are simply enjoying the premable to the climax of their crime. For me, it was very pornographic in nature...especially the laying around and tight shots of the female. The two other players, were suggestive to me of pawns in the crime. There, participants, but not really "there". Their sullen faces suggested remorse, but not to overcome their ambivalence.
The cropping of the video is just a part of the story telling as the actual words, or color or sounds. Your mind fills in the gaps of what you can't see with what's most closely intimated by the motions.
I thought it was provocative and suspenseful. I watched the whole thing - but watching it made me feel a little icky...I literally thought...omg, they are going to have an orgy after this song.
It's art, so I guess there's what you intend and there's how I took it. :)
