This Music uses Silhouette animation, this allows for little detail but a big impact, this basic out line is enough to connect the audience to the characters actions. The use of only two colours but different graidients keeps the scene simple.
The film is shot in a sidescroller theme, this means that all of the shots are on the same plane, this allows the shot to be layered very simply but effectivly, the shots used are as if it was being filmed on a real camera. This shot is a wide angle long shot, it is backlit and the character are in silhouette.
The Use of differnet focul points within the shot expresses the depth to the audience, the animals movment are very fluid but are also look as if they have been cut out, these movements are in sync with the beat of the music, an example of this is the movment of the birds wings is in sync wit hte bass beat of the song.
Using a mid-shot focuses the audience attention onto the animals movments, again the scene is backlit and produces a silhoette of the animal. The use of different shades of colour outlines the detail of the animal and still keeps it a silhoette.
The movment of the characters is on every other beat of the music so that it fits the motion of walking, yet the motion is still of a cartoon nature. The characters are one boy and one girl, the genders of the characters are expressed by the clothing and the way in which they act.
This is the establishing shot of the music video, the use of a long shot captures the door opening and the two main characters. the door opening and the colour bursting out suggests that it is the start of a jorney and the song.
