7. Analysis Shot 3
This is a mid shot meaning there is more than one thing to be shown in the frame like the Angel
wings, the girl, graffiti etc.

may not look nice but heaven is still the goal.
The girl is in the Rule of third meaning she is positioned in the third of the shot showing that there
something more important to be expressed. In this case it’s the Angel wings which have a strong
relation to lyrics as Angel are known to be in heaven. It covers about 60% of the frame and is very
visible.
This is clear representation of illustration, This shot has a clear relation to the lyrics.
The colour red indicates danger is this colour is seen throughout the whole video, therefore in this
shot within all the danger the girl in red is in there is still an angel and that’s what Emeli Sande is
trying to show in her environment of where she came from
8. Emeli Sande’s Representation
Street Life - Emeli Sande came back to her neighbour hood to teach and try get
people to follow the light as seen in the video and through the deeper meanings
of the lyrics. There are a lot of poverty issues in these areas and she shows a lot of
these in her video like run downs backgrounds, filled with graffiti. This video only
shows the working class people to express her culture and how hard their life is.
