Analysis of 'Elysium', Music Video

Before choosing to use the song 'Old Pine by Ben Howard, this as the original song my group were meant to use for the music video. I have decided to place this video on my blog and analyse it as I believe it is a very successful and emotional music video.

Like my video and the video Old Pine, in which I have previously analysed, it is evident one of the main representations is friendship and the importance of togetherness. The video can be interpreted as tragic, but personally I believe it is inspirational, as even though it includes the loss of a friend it shows how people can get past the loss with the help of other friends who are going through the same pain. It is a really sad and emotion video, and due to it being real footage, many audience members can relate and have sympathy for the people involved in the video. The video is effective in showing the different emotions of the characters and the pain they may be going through. However, the crescendo in the music is connoting that the people are getting past the loss, and remembering their friend for the good times, and not mourning as much, and so this could connote that although the video is sad, it is also supportive as it is showing audiences whare going through the same thing, that it will eventually get better.
