Genre: Folk
"Home" by English singer-songwriter Gabrielle Aplin. Home is from the album 'English Rain' which was released on 13th May 2013.
Mise-en-scene
The video is about a girl (Gabrielle Aplin) who gets robbed by a group of men who steal her car so she has to walk and find shelter and food. At the end of the video she finally finds a big and starts to interact with some locals. Its when this happens that she comes to realise that it's not necessarily her home she's needing, but company of other people. The locations in the video are landscapes that are quite remote and bare therefore it makes the audience really understand her struggle.
Camera Angels
One camera angle that stands out that was used in the video was when the camera was looking down on Gabrielle, this shot might suggest that she is feeling depressed about her situation and makes her seem vulnerable.
They also use an establishing shot to show the location of where they video is set, the landscape look deserted and lonely which makes the audience feel sorry for her because shes on her own in the middle of nowhere. 
Close ups are also used throughout the video to express her emotions which are mainly unhappy however towards the end it shows her emotions change as she finds a place and feel content and shows she is finally happy.
Editing
Jump cuts are used throughout this video but stands out near the end of the video when it shows flashbacks of her journey whilst being at the place where she is happy and has meet people and seems content with the place that she has found.
Lighting
I think lighting is important in this video as I think it is used to it shows her struggle throughout the video. At the start of the video the lighting is quite gloomy which represents the mood of the video until the end of the video when the mood changes.
Also a lot of natural lighting is used in this video which is expected as it is filmed in deserted locations therefore would look out of place if it had spot lights.
