In this shot the female’s lips are shown through a compact mirror.

This focuses on her lips which is a key feature on her face.

This draws the attention of the audience and is also quite voyeuristic inviting the viewers into her personal space.

The light is focused on the girl on the couch and she is wearing white in a dark room which brings all focus on to her.

Her position displays playfulness, yet a quite sexy image. The choice of props – the wide range of clocks on a basic wall with leather sofa creates an effect of sophisticated shabby chic look to match with trends.

She is in a dark room with the lighting focused on her. She is in a powerful position sitting on a chair with her legs crossed plus the shot is at a slight high angle to draw our focus.

I really like the composition of the shots which are well calculated – while also the use of binary opposition created by the manipulation of lighting.

In this shot the female’s lips are shown through a compact mirror. This focuses on her lips which is a key feature on her face.

This draws the attention of the audience and is also quite voyeuristic inviting the viewers into her personal space.

In this scene of the MV, the lighting is moved around her body showing key features of her body, highlighting her body and facial expressions.

Voyeurism is evident but typical of RnB music which revolves a lot around youth sexuality, love and wealth. The plain background helps the viewers to concentrate their attention on her moves.

This shot on her bed suggests her personal space where she is comfortable. This shot enables us to relate to the lyrics.

The colour scheme matches with the theme of nostalgia – using a sepia tint.

One of the strengths of this video is definitely the manipulation of lighting.
