The music video begins with a close-up shot of what looks like a window and its shelf, the clear detail such as a stained window and the dust/pebbles suggest that the location is pretty messy and not been cleaned properly. the background is blurry which specifically forces the audience to focus on the window. this effect makes the viewers curious as to wear the camera is placed. the silence also helps to create the suspense. the colour used in the music video is very odd colour that is not used in most music videos of today's time. as the blurry shot from the window focuses on the outside, the music video begins to focus on the dietetic sound for a minuet to for the audience to understand the narrative a little bit more. as a car passes by we here the voice of a women who seems to be loosing signal. as a fan of the artist Adele her voice is very distinctive and loyal fans can already recognise he presence just by hearing her speak.
the long shot of the outside with just a single car impatiently suggest that the location may be the country side. as the next shot focuses on the backside of a women's hair, she states "I just got here and I'm loosing signal already" this suggest that the female is also new to the location so the viewers are able to relate to her first reactions towards the setting.
As he camera focuses on the artist face, she puts down what appears to be a flip phone this relates the colour scheme of the video. At this point in time the audience are really curious as to who she is on the phone to as she s very apologetic for her poor signal, this suggest that the person on the other side may be important to her. as the wind blows hair she dramatically looks back and then looks forward again using an over the shoulder close up shot is a technique for the director to capture the singers face up close so the audience are up close and personal with the artist, the shot may also be a way for the director send a message to the audience the importance of Adele's facial expression in that shot.
we see various shots of the artist before the song begins, her previous styles on her music videos get straight into the song, the director is attept to create a video that brings back the fans as its been a while since the artist produced a song and its music video.
the director seems to be using very discrete voyeuristic methods, even though the artist is female, she's not seen half naked, this could be due to the genre of music, the artist is telling a story and the audience are supposed to sympathises. the director use multiple close ups of the artist looking directly into the camera, she is also see with her long nails touching her face and at times he body applying to the male gaze theory.
