Aspects of performance/mode of address
The man from the band is looking at the camera and therefore looking directly at the audience.

Narrative
The man from the band is walking through the tube station and looking into people's lives and thoughts. It's not based on the performance of the band. There are flashbacks into the lives of the charecter. There's also a clear beginning and ending. When the charecters move up the escalators they all move together suggesting they're all in the same boat. Also, they move up the stairs towards the light which suggests going from hell to heaven.

How does the video create an image for the star or artist?
The image given is that of calm. The man in the video is part of the band and he effects people's lives on the tube train by listening to them and their problems and helping them out. This tells us the band's music could be life-changing.

How do the visual elements relate to the song?
'I wish' Looks at the sad sapects of people's lives and how the charecters react makes them look desperate to get out and upset. The main charecter in the video is able to calm them and help them out by singing to them. He's helping them realise how they could change their lives. The visuals amplify what's going on and allow the people to feel free by discussing their problems.
