Indepth Analysis of Train - Hey, Soul Sister

The Mise-en-Scene used in this video is very effective. There are different colours used throughout the video to make it bright and happy. In places the video is black and white but the vast majority of it is in colour, the only time that black and white is used is when we see the animation of the lyrics being used, mainly when the man is painting. The video itself has a number of different settings, the main setting is on a street corner where we see the band play the music and we also see a number of different people along this street as well, some are sitting outside cafes, others are walking along the street and others are biking. Throughout this video we see a wide range of cast members being used, these are people who we see in our every day lives such as the postman.

But there are two main characters, a man and a woman who we see walk on a journey to meet each other and they meet at the very end of the video, ironically where the band are playing. The clothing that the two charcters are dressed in are very different, the woman is dressed all in white where as the the man is dressed all in black, the clothing that they are wearing can symbolise their personality.
