• Shot begins before the music connoting the darkness of the video, allows the audience to gain an opinion before they even hear the music
• Dark lighting throughout, various shadows used - further connotes the darkness which is iconically connoted through artists clothing
• Various shots of trees and the sea, reflecting title of 'shelter' (lack of) and theme of nature
• Out of focus shots of artists face - connotes confusion/upset

• CU's of artist throughout - emotions iconically connoted through facial expressions
