In the music video of Dream Catch Me by Newton Faulkner he sets the music video in a dark room. The first thing you see is a close up of his face, this allows us to see the artist and who he is. This doesn't really allow us to see what he looks like or how he is to be portrayed throughout the video but it does allow us to see his facial expression. He looks as if he is a bit upset or maybe angry. From the pace of the cutting it seems as if he is upset.
In this third shot the sort of 'Damsel in distress' is shown. The damsel in distress is the girl of whom the main charater is looking for or missing. She is portrayed in a picture frame, this gives us the feeling that the singer misses the girl in the picture, he is also in the background in the shot, this makes it look as if he is chasing the women and wants her back to him. It also links back to the entire dreamy setting with the photoframes floating throughot the room.
In the fourth shot it gives another look at the style of which the artist likes to portray, he is wearing a pair of worn out all-stars, with the laces being done with a baggy loop hanging down. This will give off the impression of that he is a sort of indie artist. You can also see on the floor more images of a girl that is of a younger age, this could represent his love for this girl that was gone when they met at a younger age. This could mean that she has either left him or maybe died. This would explain the images of the girl being at a younger age. The final thing of which i can talk about in this shot is the carpet, it looks like a worn out carpet. This could slook as if it was representing his mood, being worn out or almost 'done'. 
In this image it shows the women of which he seems to be looking for, she is put infront of lights in the background. This would be to show her importance to the artist. She is also put into very glamerous and sheek clothing, this would also make her seem like an important part of the music video. She is seen with her eyes closed aswell, this could be to add to the representation of her sleeping and being in the dream aswell. 
This shot gives off the dreaming aspect even more and shows off the dream aspect. All of the picture frames that are in the shot seem to be losing pictures of the girl. This could represent him losing her for good. He is sat directly in the centre of the shot as it is zooming out from him, this could be the women leaving him behind. In the background of the shot the dark clouds are embracing the artist as if his time is getting worse and worse.
In this final shot the women is at a long shot, looking over her shoulder back at the camera. Im guessing that the camera is to symbolise the artist and she is looking back at us. She is made look like an important part of the shot by being in the centre and have a long dress which makes her look important aswell. The frames are also following her away, this represents her taking all of her things away and leaving him all alone.
From doing this I have learnt a lot about the structure of a music video, with the introduction of the artist being throughout the introduction. After this the background story starts to kick in. We believe that this music video is structured well and we would go with this sort of video aswell. We have a difference to this as we will be using a different actor in our film than our artist.
