This music video is entirely performance based, opening with a shot of the main singer on the piano as the song starts. It features lots of close ups both of the instruments as well as the artists. These shots are mostly moving so that the video does not look static. There are also wide shots that show the entire band together as well as dancers around them to make the performance seem grander then perhaps if they were performing at a gig. There is a very clean look to this video, it's all very well lit and everyone is very will dressed in black and white suits or the black dresses of the dancers.
This video could be using voyeurism in it's portrayal of women as they are all thin and shown to be athletic but the camera never focuses in on them and they are not dressed in revealing clothing.
The instruments themselves also help make up this video as they too are coloured specifically for it. they are all shiny and white, following suit with the other components of the music video and adding to the classy tone that has been established.
