things that are seen in the day are also seen at night.

Relationship
between lyrics and visuals:

Although most
of the lyrics are conversations with different people around the city sometimes
the voices are in time with the rhythm of the song.

The
instruments used in this song are modern and almost all created using the
computers, the link from this to New York is that it is one of the biggest
and most modern cities in the world. So technology is very advanced
|
Camera shots,
movement and position:

A lot of the
camera shots are focused on someone walking in the streets on New York but
sometimes change angle when entering at building or passing a famous
landmark.
|
Is there
reference to the notion of looking in a sexually motivated way?
|
Out of the
many pop videos this particular one does not have any sexual themes in it at
all, this video is calm and relaxed throughout until the end. There also isn't any sexual or offensive lyrics in the video at all
|
Is the video
performance based, narrative-based or concept-based? How much of each?
|
This video has
nothing performance based at all, there is narrative based lyrics in the
video as some words fit perfectly with the speed and tune of the song. The
concept is different as the listener can make up his own story as there isn’t
much of one originally.
