This video looks to be set in a dessert where a man is trying to run away from something, maybe escaping from being a prisioner as he has robe tied aroung his wrist at the beginning of the video. He breaks into what looks like an old bar to find water for his thirst. All of a sudden the piano starts playing and what appears to be mini tribal people dancing around the room. I think that this is a figure of his imagination as he is exhausted and dehydrated so is probably hallucinating. Towards the end of the video there are constant slow downed clips of the mini tribal people dancing and in between each clip there in an image of running water as this is what the man desires. The man then realises that the tap is actually running with water and starts drinking out of it with a great sense of desperation. Finally, it starts to rain outside and after the man has his drink he leaves.
In the begininng of the video the camera is following his as he runs, getting a quick shot of the glaring hot sun and then to his face to show the despeartion that hes in for water as he feels so dehydrated due to the terrible heat. I found that certain shots were used in the video at the right time to introduce and exaggerate the change in music. This is shown at the beggining of the video when he falls over and when the piano starts playing before he sees the little native person. The pace of the music quickening is exaggerated when the man frantically starts frumberling round the room to try and find any water to drink, until the piano starts playing which then the beat of the music drops again. When the little native people dance, they are in time with the music so the music video seems like it all flows togther which is highly important.
Towards the end of the video there are random images of the scorching sun and money as this is what he desires. It then switches to shots of a native woman dancing, with slow downed clips that fade in and out of eachoher. This makes the video flow together, makes it seem all dream-like and goes with the type of music that is being used for this video. As the pace of the music builds up the more shots of people dancing, the sand and dripping water flash on the screen which once again exaggerates the fact that the music is picking up pace. Suddenly, a flash of lighting comes in when the beat drops and we return to watching the mini native people dance in the old bar. When the man rushes to the tap to drink the water, there is a close up of his face to show the desperaton in how thirsty he was and this is further portrayed by the shot being slown down. Right at the end of the video it beginnings to rain and there is a shot of the rain beating on the ground with merky water to portray irony as this man wanted so much water at the beginning when there wasn't none then when he finally gets some at the end it begins to rain heavy.
