Close-up shots of people peering around imply a struggle happened as described in the song. Sounds of banging, police sirens, and a woman in a jail cell further imply the character "Annie" was murdered.

Andrew goodwin
Andrew Goodwin identified 6 key features of music videos in his book Dancing in the Distraction Factory. He suggests that music videos demonstrate genre characteristics, portray the relationship between lyrics and visuals, and have a relationship between music and visuals where cuts and edits are synced to the rhythm and beat. Goodwin also notes that music videos frequently reference looking through screens and mirrors, often use the male gaze to attract male audiences, and commonly include intertextual references to other media. He proposes 5 ways to analyze music videos including examining the structure and beats of the song, the narrative and performance aspects, how the star is presented, how visuals relate to the lyrics, and technical production elements.

Film Opening Analysis Ali (2001) The film opens with a black screen and the title displayed in red text, and a diegetic voice is heard talkingtoanaudience,laterconfirmedtobe asingerata show,howeverthe initialshotsare of aman in a grey hoodie running at night. The opening shot is medium close shot from behind the man, preserving his anonymity and making the audience curious to his identity as a main character – especially compared to the upbeat, crowd-pleasing singer, the audio from whom accompanies the silence and solitude of the jogger, which makes the audience wonder what links them. The date ‘February 24, 1964’ appears on the screen, then it cuts to the singer’s silhouette against a smoky background,possiblyaclubsettingashe excitesaudience.The shotcutsagaintoa longshot,tracking the joggeras he runsdownabandonedstreets,exaggeratinghisisolationasthere are nootherpeople inthe frame andthe lightingisharshand connotescoldness.Asthe shotthencutsbacktothe singer’s silhouette he beginstosing a soul song, then it cuts again to a wide shot of the emptystreetsas the jogger runs across the frame and past the camera, getting closer until the shot is low angle which potentiallyidentifiesthe joggerasa powerful character.There are a few more switchesbetweenthe twocontrastingscenes,followingthejoggeralongmore emptyroadsand the clublocationwherethe singer is performing, then there is a close up shot of the jogger’s face in the centre of the frame, showinghisexpressionjustasa police car pullsupbehindhimandthe driveraskswhat he is running from.
