Using only baloons

•No music or lyrics playing.•Long take that then cuts to close up when the lyrics start to be sung

•The lyrics match with the positioning of him with the eye line match ‘see with you’ creating a personal connection and also making it feel much more personal.•The use of the shot reverse shot increases the pace of the music video and leads into the drum beat that follows. •The close up shot also makes the shot more personal as if you are next them again.

•Shot reverse shot going from him to the empty chair and back to him •There is nothing else in the world,•I'd rather wake up and see (with you).

Use of a close up of the performer with an eye line match between the audience makes it seem like he is singing to the viewer and creating a personal connection.

Wide angle shot of room with two chairs, signify someone he has lost or missed in his life, making the viewer feel empathy for him.

Cuts to next shot after 3 seconds matching the beat of the drum.Lyrics-I'm just chasing time again, again connoting the idea of time and losing someone or not doing something he thought he should have

But now I'm high; running wild among all the stars above.Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.

lThe aerial shot again signifies the idea of being free showing a wide open space with a deep focus on the entire environment.lThe long take in the shot emphasizes the idea of being free as doesn’t quickly cut straight to the next shot after 3 seconds. lThe way he is running down the middle of the screen emphasizes his importance as he is in the central third of the screen.

But now I'm high; running wild among all the stars above. Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me

lIn the shots with the forest scene this changes the style of video from a performance video to a concept video due to it being an interpretation of the lyrics. l The clothing he is wearing is very simple with jeans t-shirt and jacket and this makes him relate to the viewer. lThe colours of the scene all are natural and earth related making it simple and relate to the music genre.

Sideways tracking shot of male running signifies freedom again with the chorus going back to the concept style of music video.

Medium shot slowly tracking in with low key lighting

lWill you be my shoulderlShort takes match with the lyrics and cuts quickly matching music beat.

lThe low key lighting puts anchorage onto the lyrics and also connotes being negative and depressed lThe use of a silhouette adds mystery to the video and also makes the performer seem like an outcast due to not being able to see him.l

A medium long shot panning to the left slightly.

lNo lyrics lCuts to the next shot with the beat of the music keeping fast pace with the running of the shot.

lThe use of slow motion in the concept shots implies it is all one long clip and is being followed through the chorus of the song giving continuity. lThe medium long shot gives a clear view of the scenery connoting being free as this has been scene throughout the video.

lCuts quickly to the beat of the music

lThe zooming out near the end of the video implies that you are leaving, or leaving him. Due to the empty and slightly negative feeling of the song performance.lThe lighting is focused on him showing his importance now as he was a silhouette giving the idea that he is performing on a stage.

Medium shot that zooms out. This represents the video ending as if you are slowly leaving the venue of a rock concert.

Slowly pans upward from a long shot into the scenery relating to the concept of the video.

lPace of the video slows down due to the music ending.lJust ends with no effects to the ending such as fading out as the music slowly ends like a pop genre music video.

lSimplistic ending to the music video relates to the genre of music being indie and this would be very cheap/low budget.lHigh key lighting makes the video end on a positive feeling connoting happiness with the sun shining and using natural colours. lThe lack of lyrics at the end gives the ideology of being peaceful and simplistic relating to the genre.
