The document summarizes and analyzes elements in two different music videos. For the Charlie Puth song "We Don't Talk Anymore", it notes the use of split screen to show two locations in harmony, dull colors and settings to evoke emotion, and cross-cutting to signify the same time of day. Text messages emphasize lyrics and create tension when received and deleted. For the Arctic Monkeys song "When the Sun Goes Down", it describes dull colors and facial expressions suggesting coldness and illness, a deprived and dirty setting relating to unstable characters, and a yellow tint possibly representing cowardice during violence.
