- The song conveys a passionate and go getter person through the word 'fire'.
- The song can be interpreted as a woman who's doing great and even though her past wasn't the best she's back on top now. No body can take her down no matter what they say.
- Theres a green motif carried through the music video however the colour and tones get warmer as he takes care of children, cleans the house and helps an elderly woman.
- The whole music video is filmed in an old black and white style. - The music video starts with a medium close up of her face. - At first the artist does not make eye contact with the camera perhaps reflecting her emotions of loneliness and heartache. - We understand that Adele is feeling emotions of heartbreak closer to the end when we see a man walking away from her. - The music video is filmed in Paris, we recognise this when the camera pans the surroundings, this creates an element of irony as Paris is known as the city of love yet Adele is singing about heartbreak in the centre of the city. - Emotions of loneliness are highlighted further as no one is seen in the big city. - There are many close ups and extreme close ups throughout the video which allows the audience to fully see her emotions and allows Adele to draw in the audience emotionally by making direct eye contact with the camera. (XL Recordings)
Treat the video as though it's an unseen product in Comp 1 - use your AV toolkit for headings to extend your analysis. All good so far, but much more you could say!
