As the name of the song is ‘turn the page’ the director cleverly uses animation scenes in black and white like this to portray some of the narrative. With a flicjing technique as though the viewer is constantly turning the page of a book.

From the moment the audience sees even some of the police vechilce there is a hint of what is to come next. It is shown in a medium long shot..taking in the house and an array of people in the right hand corner.

The close up of the ring in his hand portrays the seriousness of their relationship and what could’ve been. There is an added glint to the stone which reflects how expensive and special the ring is.

Shows singer on a bike as there have been many shots of this throughout the video, now chasing to get to the girl who is about to leave. This adds a layer to the video and creates depth and meaning.

Initial medium long shot sets the scene, of busy city life.

Woman leaning on frame reminds the viewer of the famous scene in Titanic..giving an insight into the mood or storyline of the video through this simple medium shot.

Simple gestures such as this reflect the couples relationship, its obviously a sign of affection

The couple are shown wearing the same colour clothing which is the main focus of the scenes

The title of the song is called favourite girl and the fact that they are wearing the same colours symbolizes how different they are. It can also be linked to the idea that everyone has a favourite colour.

In contrast when the woman is not in the frame and the singer is alone, the camera is in greyscale..symbolizing how dull his life is without her.

Notice how when their colour clothing changes so does the colour of the sky relflecting the vastness of their love. Colour is used as a motif here.
