Titanium and heaven
Which events are referred to in the video? - the events which are referred to in the music video ‘titanium’ are that in the music video it is focused on a young boy with supernatural powers. The first clip of the music video starts off with a young student at school looking confused and he's surrounded by papers and destruction because he hasn’t realised that he has powers which can refer back to real life as young children might not believe in themselves and his powers can fight anyone off and no one can hurt him. The social groups that we can identify if the music video ‘titanium’ are police officers, teachers and young children. The shot when the boy is walking through the corridor however the focus is on the women on the phone behind the door seems to fear the boy, again suggesting he caused the damage. The actual clearness and focus of the shot are on the women whose facial expression appears to be frightened. The overall message and connotation of the video is when the boy is curled up in the foetal position on the ground instead of fighting the people off he chooses to use his powers to repel them against them, the light becomes bright enough to lift the leaves into the air and knock the officers onto their feet the camera then fads out into a black screen this relates to the music video ‘heaven’ because during the music video Emilia is talking about doing this good in life and ‘having a clean heart’ which reflects the video of titanium because the light of the boys supernatural powers shows the opening of heaven and the supernatural effect of angles being powerful fighting of the devils.
