Emili Sande still shots

Image one -
Streets of London with cars and a tree, eye level shot. Emili Sande is on the left hand side looking upwards. This connotes that she is looking up to heaven linking with the name and meaning of the song. The mise-en-scene connotes Emili Sande’s identity with London as it is her home.

Image two -
Close up shot of Emili Sande, yet she is not looking directly into the camera, suggesting the focus of the video is not on her star persona, rather the meaning of the song. The miss-en-scene of a window out looking the rougher parts of London shows she is apart of the reality.

Image three -
Located in the Tube which is iconic to London and she is centred in the frame using the rule of thirds. This suggests she is a part of the realistic side of London and is a normal person making her identifiable instead of admirable as she is not  ring perceived as a star.

Image four -
A little boy is sitting on stairs in an apartment building setting again suggesting the poorer side of London as apposed the the wealthier parts typically presented by other stars and the media. She has included the youth to link to the message of the video by conveying innocence and presenting different groups in society in order to associate herself with these groups.

Image five -
Emili sande is on a balcony overlooking the view of London with sun and clouds heavily shown to symbolise heaven. She is singing upwards suggesting she is singing to heaven. The focus isn’t on her face suggesting her looks aren’t important and focuses on what she is singing to and about which is more important.
