This video takes a slow pace that is determined by the music and shot length. The first shot lasts 39 seconds. It starts with a sorrowful tone to give the idea of ambiguity so you don't know that the person is blind. The director likes to show things that require sight to enjoy like the fact that he could be listening to the T.V or the fact that he has paintings in his house to show that his lack of sight dose not effect him. This pacing fits with the type of character the director is showing, its slow and mindful and not too direct so it leaves room for your own interpretation of the subjects ideals and actions. The director chooses to cut for their transitions, most of the shots of the subject are different distances from them and are focused in a single spot to show that he lives in his own kind of world that isn't effected by others views and his disability but is who he is as a person.
The colour pallet is mostly saturated brown to give off an aged look that fits in well with the over all theme of the video and ties back to the kind of lifestyle the man leads and gives the impression that he is worn out because that is the colour most people associate with brown, but his dialogue contrasts this to show that first impressions are deceiving with the person. The lighting comes across as natural with the shadows dulling the background slightly so the subject is the focus of attention. The lighting is done in this way so that we notice the subjects body language that dosent suggest the subject is different from a regular person because the subject still uses hand gestures in their conversation.
The music changes four times during this, at first it is a melancholy almost sad tone to suggest that something sad or mind blowing is going to happen so the audience gets ready for a shocking reveal bu then you are greated in the subjects round about way, this is something that would suit what the character would do. The music changes to an older style of music that is quite jovial, this shows the subject is dated and a positive person. The music changes again during the title sequence, this is quite a suddent cut of music that is a mellow tone to set up the rest of the interview so that it flows with the dialogue. The music changes to a old blues song that is also ironic to round off the video.
