This is a wide angled close up of the artist, Ellie Goulding. The sun is lighting her from behind creating a bright glow surrounding her face. She is wearing a black jacket with a gold necklace and looks fashionable which is important as she is considered an idol to her fans. Her hair and make up has been done professionally and she looks good which makes her desirable to her fans. This shot is fairly quick and the only lyric at this point is 'we'. She is not using direct mode of address therefore not fully engaging with the audience.
This is an establishing shot and a wide angled long shot. We can see this is on a runway at an airport. She is walking slowly along the white stripe, the centred shot makes it look like she is walking a runway. She is wearing the same clothing and we can see that her stomach is covered by a transparent black mesh, this is fashionable and modern suiting the era and genre.
Initially I thought Goulding was on stage right now, her back is to the camera suggesting she is not the most significant at the moment but also now we can see a silohuette of her which looks modern and cool against the spot lights. However, now it has become clear that this is the runway at night and the lights are the pilots guidance of where to land. She is using this location a lot for different scenes, this isn't conventional for a pop video but the change of lighting and added people works.
The lyrics here are 'we can light it up, up, up' and as she is singing the lanterns on the ground are lighting up in cannon. She is holding a pink smoke stick which is creating the pink glow, pink is associated with love and passion which can relate to her lyrics as if her love is going to burn up because of it's intensity. This is a wide angled medium shot in order to show all of the lanterns lit. Goulding is wearing a cardigan, crop top and shorts, they look pink too but that could be the light.
