Video: Scene by Scene Analysis

Figure 1 - Ideas of the video being lifting, 'for your enjoyment'

Figure 2 - Idea of all of the people (lyrics)

Figure 3 - Slow intro to individual juxtaposes crowdsFigure 4 - Grabs camera, attention of viewer, ready to go on a journey together

Figure 5 - Performs to camera, quickly becomes happierFigure 6 - Glasses symbolise individual personality

Figure 7 - Dances unchoreographed and silly, represents the art of being human

Figure 8 - Once again, binary opposition of individuals vs society

Figure 9 - Spins with camera, happiness, content with being himself

Figure 10 - Lifts viewer into a dreamlike state, happiness at heart of footage

Figure 11 - Throws food to the camera - again, the contentedness of being human and trying to share this happiness with the viewer

Figure 12 - Flower stands out like the character - beauty of individualism

Figure 13 - Freedom of choice, don't have to stay in one position Figure 14 - Time lapse - transition in narrativeFigure 15 - Standing out in the darkness - lights, happiness, individuality

Figure 16 - Journey of the individual (focus) and where they stand among everyone else who is less important, but recognising that they are amongst people

Figure 17 - Narrative has moved, protagonist is going elsewhere

Figure 18 - Juxtaposes individual movement with high rising buildings of society

Figure 19 - Long shot of city, opposition at play Figure 20 - Reflection of the building in water, metaphor, fluid nature of society. Reflection - not real. Is the collective not real, or is individualism an illusion?

Figure 21 - High rising shot of Manchester landmark establishes setting, rises over the individual protagonist

Figure 22 - Aesthetic shot of puddle, heart shapes, love of life again

Figure 23 - Tram departing, can assume the main character is on board and has rejoined the masses of everyone else. Could be a tragedy, but the heart bokeh effect suggests otherwise. A love of life and recognising individual life amidst the collective.

Figure 24 - Thrust back into reality as heart bokeh focuses to raindrops. Even so, gives the suggestion that there is a beauty to everything in life if we bother to open our eyes and recognise it.
