This video impressed me the most because they followed the conventions on how to make a good music video. The video contained many long shots, close ups and mid shots. The intention is that it creates emphasis on the artist, location and emotions. Plus, close ups are used not only to show emotions but to reflect the words of the song with the movement of the lips of the artist so the audience can relate and understand the lyrics more.

The main thing that I liked is the movement of the camera. This is used to follow and trace the artist. This video included many camera movements include tilts, pans, tracking and crane shots. The main camera movement that stood out to me was the tilt shot when in the first shot they was wearing white clothes and when the camera went down they changed their clothes to black.
Furthermore, I liked the use of mise en scene and props that was included in this video. The purpose of mise-en- scene is that it puts importance on the representation of something. In the beginning of the video one of the boys was at the graveyard and had flowers in his hand. We could imply that someone he knew is dead and he is still in grief and remorse over him which links to the lyrics.
