The first shot of rose petals falling conveys dying love as well as ambiguity, it is overlapped by three different scenarios further emphasizing ambiguity as well as creating a dreamlike image. The first overlap is an extreme close up shot of red chips that represents the artist’s love, the second shot is a mid-shot of a female placing her hand against the large city scape this conveys loneliness as well as the feeling of yearning for someone, then the petals falling shot fades away as the artist’s close up head shot emerges, although surrounded by flowers the artist’s facial expression is gloomy which suggests that she is scarred by love and that the thought of love hurts her. The close up shot of the artist’s face half covered with card shows that she is hiding herself from her opponent, however as the camera pans down tracking her movement as she place one of her cards down showing that is she slowly falling and slowly revealing her feelings to her lover. However there was a cut before we could see the cards on the table, back to the artist’s headshot lip-syncing ‘blew me away’ with a sad facial expression which suggests that the  artist regrets that she opened her heart to her ex lover and does not want to think about it, this shot also foreshadows the guy leaving her at the end. 

‘When you took my sorrow and you took my pain’ was accompanied by the shot of the guy taking her cards away symbolizes that he accepts her heart and also accepts her flaws, sorrows and pain this shot then changes its focus to the foreground which is the rose on the right hand corner showing that their love blossomed from then on. The editing after this shot is mostly fades between different scenes which symbolises that the time she spent with him was dreamlike. Moreover the montage of the bed scene, skyline scene and the cards scene creates a collection of her memory when she thinks of ‘him’. 

After the blossoming love the scene where the guy is shuffling the cards shows that he is controlling this game of love this shot is further emphasized in the fingering of the guitar as the guy also controls the song and rhythm showing that he is the upper hand of the relationship. However even though there are scenes that suggests and foreshadows him leaving the edits are still fades because the protagonist does not realize that he is going to leave as stated in the lyrics ‘watch you wave, watch you wave’. Although she have seen everything she still believed that it was love. 

Although most scene transitions are fades the scene transition to and from the lip-sync scenes are cuts since it shows that it is a reality, the lip-syncing scene is the artist telling the audience a story as the lyric goes ‘This is how the story went’. These lip-syncing shot conveys loneliness in the composition: the artist is placed on the left side of the shot looking out to the big city, showing the empty space that used to be filled. This shot is handheld connoting her unsettling mind filled with anger, resentment, loneliness and love; this handheld shot during the lip-sync scene is also used in Avril Lavigne’s ‘When You’re Gone’ conveying sadness and unsettling mind. 

The extreme close-up shot of the artist’s eyes conveys sadness as accompanied by the lyrics ‘Wake up to your face’; this suggests that the reality is not what she have hoped for, she wished he could be by her side but when she opens her eyes to reality he is no longer there. The shot of the pillow puffing up symbolises emptiness is then faded into the two shot of the lover’s silhouette which symbolizes the love they used to have, this is in contrast of the skyline lip-sync scene because the two shot is filled with people, filled with love whilst the lip-sync shot is mostly empty. The lip-syncing scene then has a night sky as the background showing that she waited for him day and night, with the city lights symbolizing her flickering light of hope that one day he will return. This light of hope is then blown away by the extreme close up shot of the guy’s face as he lies on the bed and grinned but then he leaves as the song goes ‘disappear one day’; foreshadowing that he is going to disappear. Furthermore the shot where the focus changes to the hand further away also symbolizes that he is going to leave her. This is further emphasized by the next close up shot of the heart suite card that is being covered by another card showing that in this relationship other factors have won over love that is why the relationship have ended. In addition it also shows that the female changed her perception of love because of him.

As the song goes ‘Morning rain, morning rain’ the close up shot of the rose’s reflection in the water represents the artist reflecting upon her love and herself. As the shot pans up to her hands and she tightens her grip then let the rose goes shows that she is going to let her love go, that she is going to live on without him. This is then cut to the static shot of a picture frame on a cupboard with the artist’s lip-syncing scene with her lover within the frame. This conveys her love and memories of him is all encapsulated in the picture. The colourful life he painted her is no longer to be seen, the only color in her life is him. However when she flips over the picture frame it further emphasizes that she is letting go of him and she can spend her whole life hiding her heart away. She has to live on without him.
