Music Video Shots

I have looked at this music video and counted the different shots and I got approximately 130 shots. When the song was more fast paced the shots became shorter and quicker and when the song slowed down in pace there were less shots and they lasted a longer duration of time. In the slower parts of the song the shots seem to have a smooth transition between each other and when the song speeds up it is more jumpy and quick. The video uses a lot of meat shots, I think this would be because the video does not really have a story line or any narrative so it shows the singer singing most of the song. It also shows the emotion in her face making her look quite passionate about the song. When watching the video I think that it would be classed as amplification as the beats seem to match the song by speeding up when the song speeds up, and some of the lyrics match the video, for example when she mentioned 'in the dark' she seems to be in the dark
