This video opens with two apparent friends fighting each other on the bank of a lake. One of them slips into the lake and is sucked under by the current of a river that runs off it. The music video then follows his thoughts while unconscious underwater. It then ends with the other friend from the start pulling him out of the water and saving him from drowning, showing that they have made up. The video uses a mix of close ups to show the action at the start, as well as close ups on faces to show the character's reactions to the events of the narrative much like a film would. For other parts of the video, a lot of wide shots were used, sometimes to establish the locations and showing characters doing actions in a way that is clear to the audience. This shows that music videos that are heavily pushing a narrative use similar methods of doing so as films.
