The music video for Warwick Avenue by Duffy is simply directed, showing only a constant middle close up shot the singer (Duffy) miming along to the words of the song in the back of a taxi. Despite - and because of - this simplicity, it effectively portrays the emotion of the song. As Duffy begins to cry whilst singing, and paired with the sombre colours and previously shown rain outside, the audience is aware of the raw feelings the song contains and can sympathise with her, or relate to a situation they themselves have been in.
This is an example of a common style of music video - the band or singer is the main focus of the video and they mime along to the words.
