The first few shots of this video are extremely random and consists of things like a shot of a plant, a map of the Thames and a shot of a statue of a bird. The shots are simple, either on a white background or with little in behind them, which enhances the simple beat at the start of the music.
Once the singing starts, there is lip syncing with Jessie Ware. It is a simple close up of her in front of a black background. The shot cuts from being closer and further away which is inspiring because it adds a variation to the shot instead of it just being of her singing.
It then cuts to more shots of random images but cuts back to Jessie Ware when she is singing. The simplicity continues and cuts to her with a white background at then cuts back to the black background which adds more variation to the shots.
When Sampha starts singing there is lip syncing with him in a similar way to Jessie Ware with the background cutting between black and white.
The whole video is in black and white which continues to enhance the simplicity of the video; it enables the audience to be more focused on the lyrics to the song and heightens the angelic feel about the song.
