Video analysis

This video is all in black and white. Besides it being a great song, the video is a great narrative. It cuts back and forth between the main characters establishing that they aren't with each other but trying to reach other. It uses video footage with more light to show flashback sequences with more serene imagery going on. They introduce the "Villains" represented by darker footage and the fact that they are in all black, the bandanas help give it a away too. There is also a lot of symbolism happening to help represent a secret or something precious being hidden away and eventually brought to light which brings us to a rather tragic ending. Powerful story telling.
