This image deliver's a strong sense of loneliness. As it is ironic that the singer is sitting still while the train, a fast moving object is next to him. Adding to this the train may symbolise fast moving time which contrast with the lyrics of the song, as the singer wants to stop time.  The body position of the singer, may represent depression as he isn't sitting straight up with confident. He is sitting in a slightly bending position. We normally sit in this position, when we are worried or tense. The tone of loneliness is conveyed further from the colour selection of objects and the main character cloths. As all of them are in similar kind of tone, which is greyish to dark green. ( No bright object was seen) We may use similar concept in our music video. We might search for symbolism which convey loneliness, and represent the fact that she is waiting for her love, in our music video. Objects that I can think of right now are ferris wheel, as it represents the circle of life, and may be able to symbolise time.   

This shot is one of my favourite shot, as it symbolises destruction, which is emphasises in the background. Everything is frozen which highlights the lyrics of the song,"Stop!". The ashes in the background is a reminder of something dead and lost forever, unretrievable. This is a similar concept to time, as we can't retrieve time. Once its gone, its gone. This is a powerful image, and is done through the use of colours. Contrast of black and white, could represent the shift in time, between past and present. Which is the main narrative in the music video. 

This image conveys a strong sense of depression. As the body language itself, may reminds the audience of many things. As lying down may represents unconsciousness which can be relate to sleep or death. The tone of this picture is emphasised by the use of black and white, the black is the dominant colour in this case. There seem to be a little light in this shot, which hight lights the singer side face. The fact that it is half, could represent the two type of personality he has. One which can be seen as an angel ( White) while the other is evil. ( Black ) Therefore the lighting could emphasises the narrative. 

In this specific scene, the shot was first blurred and then clear. This could symbolise the actor shift on mind and thinking through time. As before he met the actress, he was blurred and incomplete. A similar idea can be used, as our narrative is also based on a similar concept. As the main character is stuck in her own world, and everything we see in the music video is based on her's perspective.
