Throughout this music video the lead singer is lip syncing in different locations and costumes and then all the shots are put together so that it is timed correctly and flows well. To make this work the same shot type has to be used for every lip syncing shot and it must be composed the same. In these shots the singer is always in the centre of the shot and the main focus, this is done using a mid shot. The different shots all put together make the video a lot more interesting to watch rather than if the singer was performing in just one location and in one costume. The shot are cut to the beat of the song and get really fast but still make sense. The amount of locations used could signify him trying to move on as at the beginning we see the narrative of a girl leaving him. This camera technique enhances the music video because it is different and holds the audience' attention.
In this music video the camera never stops moving and the same scene is repeated continuously four times. The only thing that changes is that there is one more of every person each time around. This use of the camera could be enhancing the ideology behind the video, that the artists' world is not like everyone else's. It is an everyday scene but it shows another take on the world; exciting and unpredictable. It would be a boring scene to watch repeatedly but it is made interesting by the camera techniques and camera movement.
