The mise-en-scene in the opening shot is of a dirty window sill , covered in dead flies - this evokes a sense of neglect perhaps connoting the artists mindset and emotions.
The dark lighting and effect could also be used to connote the artists emotions she is trying to denote.
The faded camera shot into a point of view shot , shifts the focus point giving the audience the opportunity to see things through the artists eyes.
The dialogue before the music begins gives the audience a slight idea of the song and music videos narrative - the dialogue include beneath the music and the artist singing adds to this progressing narrative
The medium close-up shot of the artist captures her emotions , with her direct eye contact into the camera creates a direct form of address , drawing the audience in focusing them on the artist and her emotions.
There's a clear transition of past to present denoted - when the artist is lip-syncing the lyrics she is in the present but when the male is present it is clear is a reflection of the past
Towards the end of the video the artist appears in a field and forest ,the open space of the location and wide angle shot connotes freedom and release , which has been a gradual progression throughout the narrative.
