The music video supports the song very well throughout. Firstly the storyline is quite hidden, just like the Always Like This video however the storyline can be interoperated as the following. As the band are trapped in the room with a closed door there is a variety of videos being projected onto the walls of the room. Predominantly containing different women and especially when the line of the song; 'Which one will stay, which one will say goodbye'. This therefore could mean that the members of the band are related to these women and are confused to which women will stay with them or leave them. This moves onto the location of the music video which is in the white room. Being in the room for the entire video this connotes that the band cannot decide who will go or stay and until they do they will be trapped with the thoughts being projected on them.Overall the video has a very artistic feel to it, the projection of the video on the band completely changes the mood of the video. The projection is similar to the VHS in the 'Always Like This' vide and connotes the same meaning as I previously discussed in the last analysis. As the brightness of the projection connotes happiness but the part in the video when the brightness drops and the band is in shadows represents a more sad and sinister feel to the video.
The clothing is very similar to the Always Like This with casual clothing but it is appearing that the clothing in the videos seems to follow the fashion trends of the current time which could be done to relate to the target audience of the band.
Finally the performance of the band is important to the video. They are featured throughout the video but they are also very energetic. This relates to the storyline as the decisions are hard and being trapped in the room can make you very relentless. Spotlighting the singer also ammedes the feel of a performance as it is similar to the theatre. The constant featuring of the band can also be used to promote the liveliness and style of the band, which could confince the audience to purchese tickets for their live performances.

This is ok but not as detailed as the first. Try to be consistent across all your work. A few more screen shots here too.
