Treatment Modification

The video opens with a black and white colour filter with a blur fade to mat sitting on a stool in an old abandoned building, low lighting and exposed brickwork. We then cut to mat walking through the building alone tracking shot with mat backlit inside building with the camera outside the building, while tracking mat gets blocked by walls and seen through windows creating realism about the video.

Then the video fades to the studio shot as mat starts to sing lines 1-4, on line 5 we see a mid shot of mat carefully picking up a dusty letter, on line 6 and 7 a mid shot shows mat unfolding the letter slowly and on “dust on the ground” mat blows dust off the letter towards camera and camera fades with the dust to a panning shot of mat on location in the building. During line 11 and 12 he video switches to colour and mat is sitting on a sofa with a girl, on the line “chase...away” the girl then leads mat out of shot, we then cut to the couple playing in the bedroom (play fighting) then on the line “inches above” they both start to fall onto the bed, cut to black and white footage close up of mat hitting the floor in the abandoned building.

In the chorus the video cuts to Point of View footage in colour of the girl chasing mat around, the couple run through a door way. Then we cut back to black and white long shot of mat coming through the doorway in the abandoned building on his own.
