We have chosen to analyse this song as it does not contain anything extravagent, and as such we could replicate (or at least take inspiration from) some effects they have created.
The wardrobe setting limits the audience to only ever seeing a very small portion of the scene in each shot, encoraging the viewer to look closely at the details they can see. The setting and camera angles themselves amplify both the song's lyrics and title; "Close To Me".
The slits in the wardrobe produce beams of light in the frame, drawing the viewer's eye towards points of interest placed within the mise-en-scene. The light often falls upon either the performer's eyes or their "instruments", which shows their change of emotions as the story unfolds.
The occasional establishing long shot of the wardrobe accentuates the clostrophobic atmosphere created as it creates a dissonance between the low lighting and close ups and the bright lighting outside. There are no distractions during the long shot, which juxaposes the large quantity of things going on within the wardrobe.
