This shot is an extreme close up and shows the emotion in his eyes and what he is looking at. The eyes are the point in the face where emotion can be shown the most, this is why they have shown this clip.
He now jumps into the pool of water and this shot is a medium shot as you can see most of his body. It is also a wide shot to show the whole background. It shows the detail in the splash when the character hits the water.
This is a shot under the water. It is a long shot as it shows the whole of the body. The lyrics say 'and it takes two' and suddenly a girl appears in the pool of water and the lyrics are all talking about love and how it happens.
This is a close up of potion in the pool. The lyrics are 'love is a potion' 'mixed up by careless fools'. It talks about how love is a potion and its hard to make love happen. The lighting is shown well in this shot. One side of the potion is lit up and the other is darkened.
This is a medium shot as he is swimming in the pool. Underneath him there is a green smoke. This shows the potion mixing into the water as the 'love' and the two characters swimming are mixing it up as lyrics say 'mixed up by careless fools'. It shows the male character is careless as he jumps into the pool without caring. This is why these lyrics are repeated time after time.
This is a close up of the woman character swimming. Once again she is swimming in the pool of water with potion around her. She has loving and warm colours around her as the potion but the male character has mild colours. The close up is used as this shows the emotion in the woman's face towards the man.
This shot is the woman upside down in the water showing she is confident and in power. The potion is again in the pool of water showing 'love is a potion'. Shows that they are both mixing up the potion and the love in the pool.
This shot is a medium shot as it shows the torso and nothing else. He is in the water again and is coming out to come out of the water. This is near the end of the video. The lighting is show from the top of him and it shines through the water to show the outline of his torso.
This is the end of the video. The male character walks out of the pool and this is a close up and moves into an extreme close up. The lighting is behind him and it lights the left hand side of his face. You can see the emotion on his face. Everything is focused on him and the background is dark.
The meaning of this music video shows that love is hard and is always interfered with.
