The clip starts with background noise that sounds like a train or traffic. The first shot is a high angled establishing shot of The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. The white noise continues in the background and starts to include car horns. The titles come up and are in a simple font and the colour white. The camera is moving closer to the city and the shot changes to a mid-shot of a train going past. The camera pans over a building and stops on a clock that is positioned in front of the building. The camera tilts down to two men coming out of the building, talking. They are dressed in casual clothes; jeans and a jacket. A man’s face then comes into the shot and you can tell that you are seeing it through a mirror. This means that the man’s perspective is the same as the audiences at the moment so they are seeing what he is. The next shot is of his watch which says the same time as the clock, 3.55pm. He looks back to the men, indicating that he was expecting them at this time. The camera goes to a close up of him sitting in the car smoking and looking past the camera. There is another man in the car with him who has an earpiece in. The camera cuts to him pressing some buttons on a device. With both these things, it appears that they are possibly undercover for something and watching the men. In the background you can still hear the men talking, along with traffic noise and some music starts. The music is quite fast-paced and has a strong bass-line, almost similar to rap. There is both diegetic and non-diegetic sound used in the clip, along with a variety of camera angles and movements. The location shots are still vague though which allows there to be a sense of ambiguity.
