This music video by Estelle ‘Come over’ ft Sean Paul is a narrative that portrays a woman who wants her boyfriend to come over. The video is not a live video and this may be because the song has not got a lot of an emotion to it. Another reason the video is not live is because the song tells a vivid story and making the music video a narrative is perhaps the easiest choice for a music video. This music video has cuts to the beat which is a common convention for music videos. Fish eye lenses were cleverly used at some stages of the video.
A reason that the fish eye effect might have been used is because the message of the song is that the woman wants the man to come over and she is looking through her door whole waiting for him. This effect was cleverly used as the audience can see what is going on through the main singer’s point of view as she waits at the door. This video mise en scene is a main aspect in this video and the narrative is set up with people in a building which may be an apartment or a hotel and the main singers in the video. The scenes also overlap from a narrative her singing in a TV studio with Sean Paul, to her singing in a room, and then her with Sean Paul. The scenes then overlap to her at a party at the later stages of the music video. The emotion in the song is calm and peaceful, this is shown by the way the main characters in the video Estelle and Sean Paul walk around and dance.
