This song allows itself to have a really interesting narrative. This music video is taken from the film Harry Brown and doesn't have any of the artist performing in it.
The narrative is very simple and is all about crime and violence, but its giving it to you from the perspective from the 'bag guy' regretting what he has done.
The whole thing is set in a sort of grimy area and it doesn't like anyone has that much hope for anything; that is basically what the whole film is about.
Because a lot of clips from the film have been used in the music video i think you could do something completely different with it, and put a different view across to the audience. But i still think you need to keep it very narrative based, but you could add elements of performance by putting in someone playing the guitar parts and possibly being the lead singer.
One thing i would take from the music video is the close up and mid shots and i also like how they have then actors performing and then the singer being completely ignored. I would like to take that forward into my own music video because i think it works well to see a clear difference between the 'actors' and the singers.
Personally i think the lack of special effects adds to this video because it makes you focus on the lyrics and song more, the main one they use is when the singer is levitating which i don't think adds anything to the video and think it can be kept more simplistic.
