The video takes place between a nightclub and the following morning. Low key lighting is used at the nightclub and high key lighting the next morning. Costumes at the nightclub are casual. Cross cutting shows two time periods. Focus is used to blur the girl and show the man's perspective. Shot reverse shot shows tension between the man and girl. Fast editing conveys enjoyment at the club while slow editing shows the man's worry. Close ups show the man's worry and him singing. High angles imply isolation and regret. Over the shoulder shots allow views of facial expressions. Sound gives the impression of being diagetic but was edited in.

2. The setting of the video is taken
place at a nightclub and then
cuts between that and the
following morning at home. The
lighting used through the
majority of the video is low key,
this connotes to the audience
that the scene is at nighttime,
because he is walking through a
club at times. High key lighting
is also used in the extract to
portray across to the audience
that the time scale has changed
and they are watching what
happened the following
morning.

3. The costume worn when out
at night was quite casual and
stereotypical for what you
would expect people to wear
to a club. Also the clothing
worn by the band members
represented their style and
music, this is because most
people who follow this style
of music wear these styles of
clothes.

4. Cross cutting is used throughout the
video to connote to the viewer that
there are two different time periods
in the video; at the nightclub and
the morning after. Focus is used in
the morning scene to blur out the
girl to portray to the viewer how
the man see’s her through his eyes,
because he has just woken from a
night out of drinking. It is also used
to focus on him when he is sat on
the bed; this gives the audience the
impression that he is thinking about
what happened the night before.
Editing

5. Shot reverse shot is used when the
man and the girl stare at one
another across the room. This
signifies to the audience the tension
between the two of them, because
she just came out the toilet with
another boy. Fast paced editing is
used when it cuts between random
people at the club; this conveys to
the viewer that they are enjoying
themselves. However, slow paced
editing is also used when the camera
is focused on him walking through
the club. This connotes that he isn’t
enjoying himself, but is instead
worried and angry.

6. The video starts off with a mid-
shot which follows the man down
the stairs and into another
room, this gives the audience a
general first impression of
him, because they are able to see
him from the waist up. This will
portray to the audience the style
and attitude of him. Close ups are
also used throughout the video
when he is looking for the girl.
This is done in order to connote to
the viewer the worry on his face. It
is also done to show him miming
the lyrics of the song in sync.

7. A high angle shot is used to represent that
they feel bad about what happened the night
before and they feel isolated from each other.
You can tell this by the body language
connoted in the shot; they aren’t even
looking at each other and are hunched over.
Another high angle was used when the girl
was alone in the toilet, this portrayed across
to the viewer that she is feeling
lonely, isolated, and is feeling regret.
An over the shoulder shot is used to connote
to the audience that the two men are having
a conversation with one another. This shot
also allows the audience to see the facial
expressions of the person that is talking.

8. The video gives the
audience the impression of
diagetic sound because the
main band member is
miming the lyrics
throughout the video in
sync with the music.
However, this isn’t diagetic
because the music is edited
in afterwards, in order to
give this effective impact
on the audience.
