Charlie Simpson-Parachutes

I love the contrast between him walking on the screen and him walking for real on the pavement. I suspect that when he is walking on the pavement it's what his life went like and him walking on the screen is him imagining how his life could have been like. The lighting is completely different from him walking on the screen, light, bright and him walking on the pavement, dark, it looks like it's day and night. The characters and the props are the same on both videos but the difference is the contrast between life and death, and happy and sad/angry and, positive and negative social interactions. The video is a narrative video because it connects with the lyrics. From the lyrics and the video i got the impression that it's a story of a drugs or alcohol addict. This is because he continiously says, he doesn't need help but he is sorry. Also, the structure of the lyrics goes: firstly he is in denial, then he is sorry, then he says he has tried, then he is sorry again and hopes that there will be hope for him still, but in the end he gives up.
From what i see there asn't been any cuts or editing in the video which must have took a lot of practice and patience.
