The opening long shot establishes the scene and fits the sombre mood of the song, as the singer begins to sing, cuts to his face are made as he begins to sings with elongated shots of his face as he breaks the fourth wall with the audience. The lyrics are selectively matched to the shots that are involved for example; “carry you to broken ground” which is accompanied by a shot of our character (and singer) carrying an object. This selective use of lyrics allows the camera shots to build to a crescendo as the song does, the use of fire, allows the audience to be visually engaged along with the lyrics as the song becomes more intense with a higher tempo. The songs cold feel is accompanied by the look of the setting and the character, but as the fire is shown the music becomes more intense thus allowing the song to progress. The close up shots used brings focus to the action. The music video uses an array of simple shots, and angles, which means they are not limited by what they can do to create the music video this allows the song to match incredibly with the music video.
