Happily Ever After Analysis.
A girl is listening to music, a guy comes along and takes the headphones next to her. A lot of close-up shots to see her eyeing him up (showing her interest in him) and him returning the looks (also showing his interest in her). There is an aerial shot, where you see just the two characters listening to music in the middle of a busy store where everyone else is walking around.
They are the only two that are stationary which contrasts with the busy environment, makes us focus more on the characters. From an above shot they seem like a couple, the connection between them is that they are both in the same place, doing the same thing, at the same time. Then there is shot reverse shot to see both of their reactions. The girl is on the left hand side of the frame and he is in soft focus behind her, then the camera moves to the same level as her eyes, which are on an extreme close-up, do a double take (looks at him twice quickly).
We also notice she is wearing a wedding ring. She glances at him/tries to see what music he is listening to. We get the feeling that she is thinking to herself ‘does he like me’. They catch each others eyes and with that the music gets louder for a dramtic effect. The camera tracks in on her face to show she is deep in thought. He did a subtle small flick with his eye that looked her up quickly. Then it went to a low angle tracking shot, going round on her showing she is strongly admiring him. From her point of view we see him walking away. The camera tracks behind her, to then see her run after him.
