He always has a serious face unless he is close to the lady in white. This reflects his own general feelings. He is dressed quite smartly,almost to impress her where as she is dressed in a white flowy almost burlesque dress. She sends out signs and signals that she is sweet and innocent (you can tell htis by her dress, pale complection and simple make up) yet she also send out signals that she is a bit of a player as she is dancing, lifting her dress up and acting generally naughty, possible attention seeking.
We can see that he falls totally in love with her after a kiss ("it was only kiss, it was only a kiss") By saying it twice he is trying to convince him self out of being in love with her as he thinks it crazy to be this attached after just one kiss but he cant help him self. However she just feels lie its a bit of fun and shows no real desire to stay connected with him.
There is another man in the video, an older looking man. He seems to have control over her and she keeps going back to him. We can tell he is older by his face but also by the clothes he is wearing. He is dressed like an older wealthy man. He somehow seems to have the most power in the room. He could possibly represent the man Brandons girlfriend
He says how she has totally changed since being with the other man ("now im falling asleep and she calling a cab,while hes having a smoke,now shes taking a drag") suggesting that he has had a bad influence on her.
