Music video + narration

1) Is the narration restricted or omniscient?
This is a restricted video as Cheryl Cole only has one character throughout the video, playing the heartbroken girlfriend. There is only one narration throughout the video.

2) How is this communicated through media language?
There are a lot of point of view shots of Cheryl as she is dancing with the man, there are various close ups of her face which tells the audience how she is feeling. The shots also fit with the lyrics, for example 'they want to see us fall' where there is a close up of Cheryl's face looking upset.

3) What effect does this have on the audience?
This causes the audience to empathise with Cheryl as it is clearly shown that she is in love with the man. The close up shots of Cheryl looking upset cause us to feel upset as well, and the passionate shots of her and the dancer allow the audience to understand what she is feeling.
