Gwen Stefani - What You Waiting For?



We see Gwen Stefani arriving at an airport the setting is realistic and believable, she then gets into a car and answers her phone it is a mans voice telling her to get to the studio asap we now know that she is a music star that has arrived to record her song, Gwen Stefani says that she is so tried and needs to sleep this gives the impression that something might happen, the next shot tells us that we have know moved to a month later and we see Gwen Stefani in bed sleeping she is then woken up by a phone call it makes me wonder if she has been asleep for a month, she is then in the studio with a piano the camera moves to a close up of her face and then moves to a close up of her computer where she is playing a ping pong game, the shot moves to her phone and her mp3 player that has her name on it, we hear the phone start to ring the only sound we have heard since the beggining is digetic, She then starts to play the piano and starts to sing a song this makes us believe that the song is about to start. but it doesnt and we see her getting a coffee from the machine we then get a close up of a poster that says writers block we can help, we now put it together and know that she is writting a song and is having trouble with it.

She takes a number and then we see a car driving past and the next shot takes us into a dark room, she has gone to see someone about her writters block, as we waits we see a close up of a toy rabbit that is moving on the desk we then she Gwen Stefani looking heavily at it, the next shot is of her back at the studio she picks up a clock that stands out of the rest of the video, she then sits down and the clock start ticking we see the rabbit come flying at her and knocking the clock at her hands she falls back on her chair but not to the ground this makes us know that she is going into another world, we then see her in a maze that looks similar to Alice in Wonderland the rest of the video reminds me of Alice in Wonderland as she sees the same things that Alice saw, we see a shot of her in a house, this video is mad and crazy. The shots then switch from her at the studio to her in the maze we see the lyrics being wrote on the page that she is singing.

Her costume in the studio is showing of her belly making her look sexy and femanine and showing a different side to her, the last couple of scenes of her in the studio show her dancing and singing to 4 girls that are dressed in school uniform, she is dancing in a sexy way infront of the school girls at the end the girls all laugh.
The music video is creative and unique
