The aspects of a previous A2 students work that I'm fond is that they use a huge variety of edit and camera shots which intertwined which the music and left the end product to a high standard. 


Here one of the shots which I liked was the 'low angle' shot when one of the protagonists dropped the flower upon the grave, not only was it used to show respect according to the lyrics and give slight power to the singer due to him still being alive but also caused a smooth transition between the next shot at another location.

Another shot which caught my attention was when the other singer of the duo was in his apartment during a counselling session, with the room dark and quiet it showed the true atmosphere of the song emphasising about the sorrow within. The beret the singer is wearing while drinking the alcohol from the clear glass with slight effect shows the planning that has go into making the video with thorough detail.

Moreover, before the climax of the video, one of the singers who was wearing a white t-shirt suddenly changes to wearing all black, this happens when the music beat drops after being a quiet and the camera rises up and drops when the beat returns and provides a stunning effect combining the song and the transitions together.
