What i like about this music video in particular is the direct address Sandi Thom gives towards the camera. At all times the camera keeps her in focus and is placed in front of her, using a steadi-cam. This direct address to the camera is given in very few videos but attracts me and makes sure the audience is drawn in as it feels like a more personal experience. This may not be right for our particular video idea, but i like it nonetheless.
As she sings the song and walks along the street (a lot like The Verve's video for 'Bittersweet Symphony') the people in the street behind her follow her, but all are unique ad independent at the same time. Some examples include a guitarist, cyclists, samba-dancer, a protester and a streaker. This theme of them being a collective, but simultaneously being individual and unique appeals to me greatly.
Below are some shots from the video, which demonstrate what i have talked about above:
