We used various filming and editing techniques in the music video to convey the mood and themes of the song. Shallow focus was used to show how insignificant the actor seemed. The video alternated between black and white and color clips to reflect the actor's loneliness. Only one actor was used to keep within the genre of a sad, lonely folk song. Nature imagery like birds was incorporated to represent the feelings evoked by the music. Some redundancy in costume was used to further develop the actor's character. The video was set in urban areas with old buildings to provide an element of surprise while still relating to folk genre conventions.
