Unfinished Sympathy: Street life representation

In the music video the director portrays street life of downtown LA through the mise en scene, including lighting, costume, makeup, setting, props and sound. 
At the beginning of the video a leather glove is shown gripping two steel balls and clinking them together creating the diegetic sound on screen. The camera then zooms out to show a larger group of men from an ariel view with a 'gang-like' stereotypical appearance, with tank tops, tattoos and a pit bull terrier showing the diegetic sound of growling which overall gives connotations to violence and aggression. The camera then pans round to the street showing a small boy with a toy gun which again connotes violence. These two elements portray the street life of downtown LA to be aggressive and volatile. 
As the camera follows the street the non-diegetic music begins with the backing beat. The setting is very urbanised with many shops, cars, graffiti, rubbish on the side of the road and posters on telephone posts etc. Here the tracking shot begins to follow Shara Nelson down the street. Her makeup is more subtle than vibrant with the only noticeable attributions being the smokey eyeshadow. Her costume is basic and consists of a black coat and dress with flat shoes. This contrasts with the background colours as they have colourful tones with a vibrant orange tone of the natural lighting which could convey Nelson not fitting in with the street life. 
The tracking shot is constant throughout the video and it is all in one frame with no cuts. This creates a unified video and is unique in the fact that it is continuous. This may convey the ongoing or continuous love that is stated in the lyrics, 'I know that I've been mad in love before... And now I've got to know much more... The curiousness of your potential kiss has got my mind and body aching'
