Narrative/Performance
This music is mainly in black and white. At the beginning you can hear a non-diegetic voiceover of his love interest; this could be him replaying in his mind. It has a typical concept of the genre, the band performing but to a live audience. The music video is a narrative and shows the leas singer broken hearted and remembering times with his love interest.It includes flashbacks of their time together, but they are in colour unlike the rest of the music video. This could be to reflects his mood as he is down and upset in the present day and the memories are happy therefore are colourful. He is singing on his own to the camera and also watching videos of the two of them together. There is a longshot in the video where they are holding hands and then slowly let go of eachother, this could signify their relationship ending and that he needs to let go. The performance of the band towards the end is in slow motion. Some of the camera shots are as if they are using their own camera, this is to show the romance between the two of them and to make it more personal and believable. The costumes are casual; jeans and t-shirts, jumper, coat and scarf. The performance shows the genre characteristics that Andrew Goodwin writes about in his theory on music videos. There is a use of camera filters as the video is mostly black and white.
