Mise en Scene
What is so interesting about this music video is it is ALL filmed on handcam. This immediately creates a sense of realism and allows the audience to feel like part of the video.It too follows a coupl- being the main two characters but not too dis similar to examples, different 'random' characters come into play through out the video in order to create enigma. As well: this music video is a huge source of promotion for the singers, as they are not an 'item' in reality it alows it to be slightly contreversial therefore when they kiss etc, it could be talked about as if it were real 'Ellie Goulding and Calvin Harris kiss in the I need your love video' therefore a source of free promotion through word of mouth an extremely clever concept!
Editing
There is not much to be said for editing due to the nature of the camerwork- being a handheld camera device. Transitions are made by the video being made to look like it is breaking and between this happening it allows a scene or location change.
In a lot of the scenes we see Ellie in a white bed, with white walls, white curtains and she is very pale due to ambient lighting, this could portray connotations of purity.
