Deep Dive Research - MIA Borders

• The background is blurred out and the focus is on her wearing eye-catching clothes which could be interpreted as the first world country s ignoring the help that is needed from the third world countries, as well as immigrants crossing the borders and fleeing from war-torn countries.
• Furthermore, this would reflect the frustration within MIA with the American immigration policy as the world leaders seem to just ignore those who need help the most
  
• This wide shot represents the travel and tough journeys immigrants and innocent people from war-torn countries have to go through without and help or many supplies and to show to us (the audience and the public) that these people need out help
  
• The camera angle facing up to MIA and the "immigrants" walking in a line on a border fence connotes to them showing that they are powerful and that they should be the ones that people focus on instead of anything else i.e. in this case, the immigrants should be a more prevalent issue for governments to sort out rather than other issues
• furthermore, the split of MIA and the "immigrants" could be a reference to the governments not letting anyone into their countries as thousands of innocent people are risking their lives for a better future and that the government think that it is not an issue and that they should go back to their own country
  
• This angle is used again as well as pans once MIA is on top of a security camera next tot he border fence with her hands in the shape of guns. this is a reference to the world leaders being on top of heavy security at their borders with guns in place so no one can go in and seek help into the country (specifically America)
  
• This angle is again used and reinforces the same thing as the previous shot where the world leaders are looking outside from an issue that is bigger that they make it out to be, hence causing frustration for MIA and her beliefs
  
  
• This pan across the life sign made from people connotes to all life is sacred and that all life should be allowed the same rights as other life and shouldn't be affected by the country they come from (discrimination).
• This gold covered around the "immigrants" further shows that life is sacred as gold is a cherishable material and they are wrapped in it
• Furthermore, this shows that poor people shouldn't be shunned out from everyone else and that they should be helped to become better that they were before and not rejected like people are at borders 
  
• This wide pan across a ship made of people could represent that the countries are the poor and the rich and MIA represents the leaders that are built up from those people and therefore should be treated equally no matter the circumstances of their origin or location
  
• This birds eye shot shows the horrid conditions and cramped space that the people fleeing from war-torn countries have to go through to be put down by countries not letting them in to safety, creating a moment of empathy for audiences watching .
  
  
• This mid shot and wide shot also reinforces the previous point as they are closely pack together and waiting and hoping to reach a safe and hopeful location, only to be met with disappointment and hopelessness
  
• This wide shot with the spotlight reminds the audience at the end of the song that the government want to take the spotlight off the important issues and shine it on them so they don't get into trouble as well as the public never fins out the scale of the problem with immigration, further shown through MIA being on the other side of the fence to the poor people.
