This is a high angle shot of the woman that is the main character in the video. This shot shows the vulnerability of the woman, as she is laying there after being shot in the neck with an arrow. The use of mise-en-scene makes the scene more

realistic as there is fake blood all over the bed, the bed also creates a sense of peace, as that is where people say people lay peacefully asleep, so her being dead on the bed, it shows that the peacefulness of the woman is eternal. She also has angel wings on her back, this also makes the sense of peacefulness even stronger, as they are seen to be the nicest things in existence.

The shot they've used in this clip is an over the shoulder shot, which helps you see what the persons shoulder you're looking over can see. This is the forensics taking place of the death of the angel. The setting of this

clip is what looks like an abandoned warehouse office, this is conventional of angels or super humans coming from somewhere else and settling down on earth, they always find an abandoned place so that they aren't spotted. The mise-en-scene that they have used in this clip is also conventional of the people who they're portraying.

This is a mid-shot, which is showing the angel from waist up. This is conventional of the music genre, as they are all deep lyrics and this woman is deep into thought and the lyrics also tend to be about love or

loneliness, this is the face you see in most films when a person is either in love or lonely. The setting continues to be in an abandoned warehouse office. Throughout the video she wears white, this is conventional of angels as their conventional colour is white.

This shot is a long shot that has been blurred, it shows a shot of her 'blossoming' in all her beauty, as this is the first time you see her wings fully. Yet again the setting is in the abandoned warehouse office, this is

obviously where she stays before she turns into/back into an angel, then when she's an angel she goes out to find people she is looking for. The mise-en-scene used in this isn't conventional of an angel as she is wearing what looks to be black on her bottom half.

This is another over the shoulder shot, which shows Ed, this is conventional of his music videos as he always stars in them at one point, so this carries on the tradition in his videos. This setting is in a cafe, this tends to be where most people hang

out if they're lonely, as they get a coffee or tea and just think, normally after an argument or bad turn in a film. She is still wearing white from what you can see. The use of this shot allows you to see what is going on in the background.

The shot used in this clip is an establishing shot, which gets a view of the area she is in, this isn't like any other setting she's been in throughout this video, so this shot

has been used to get you see the setting fully. It also allows you to fully see what she is wearing which is unconventional for an angel. When she leaves the warehouse she is always in the dark, this is because less people are out to be able to see her.

A two shot has been used to see the difference in people and see what they are both doing which is kissing one another. This shot is used for a comparison as one is in white, signifying peace and good and the other is in black/dark, which is

showing evil and mystery. This means that the mise-en-scene that has been used is done well and helps you get a clearer picture of what is going on.
