We used shots of nature throughout the video such as below to suggest freedom and natural emotions/feelings. The shot of Rose's t-shirt is significant as we start off with the sun and do a colour edit to link the two different scenes together; the significance of white is purity and natural.

Rose is seen spinning in a couple of shots suggesting confussion yet at the same time freedom in continuing her journey. In this shot, the artists positioning is key, she is placed in the opening between the two hedges, suggesting that she had made a breakthrough on her journey, and as we used this shot towards the end of the music video, in a way brings a closing to the video.

We use a graphic match of Rose spinning with a long shot to spinning within a close up shot.

Water is used continuosly used throughout our music video to suggest a flowing sensation emphasing Rose's sense of journey and determination to find answers.

The significance of the umbrella used within the music video was used to suggest a contrasting view within the other scenes such as feeling trapped and confussion; within the frame and due to the umbrella. The contrast was due to Rose facing problems/ obstacles within her journey feeling slightly lost at times this also translates onto her life journey too.
The shot with Rose sitting on a bench, is there to show voyeurism - she looks around as she feels she is being watched. However, this shot could be interpreted as if she is looking around to find answers and perhaps to an onward destination after the video has stopped.

The shot where she is on the other side of the pond, suggests that there is a big world out there for her to discover and that perhaps getting all her answers and finding her way is going to be harder than she first may have thought, because she has such a huge world to search. At the same time this shot shows that she is still enclosed and something may be keeping her from finding all her answers, because she is surrounded by trees and a pond.

The shot of the sunlight appearing through tree leaves and branches suggests that there is 'light at the end of the tunnel' for Rose or that there is a 'glimmer of hope' pearing through her surroundings.

The second bench shot where Rose is wearing sunglasses, was originally thought up form watching Lene Marlin's 'Sitting Down Here' music video, as when it was analysed, we saw that through having the reeds infront of her, it would convey voyeurism just like in Lene Marlin's music video. Our decision to have our artists wearing sunglasses was again to convey a sense of mystery and/or keeping herself private and modest.

The umbrella shot was used to make the artist look and feel like she was enclosed and had very little hope of finding her answers and discovering who she really is, backed up by her slightly confused expression.
