From an arcade, winning a
prize, like she did with her
ex

Ending by crossing paths
and fading out

guitar
4. Camera & Editing
Camera
Majority POV shots from ex
Long shots of the couple
Close ups showing the emotion of different characters
Tracking shots
Hand held shots in some shots
Editing
Black and white filter
Slow paced editing to go alongside the song
Using fade ins/outs and straight cuts
Slo-mo some parts
Doing all of this to emphasise the mood and the common convention of the genre.
