The meaning to the song is that their relationship is a car crash. The effect this screenshot has on cutting to the beat is that they have included this particular scene of Adele. It is a close up which allows us to see her emotions. At this particular moment she is singing the lyrics But if I tell the world. This could reflect the lyrics as it shows her looking off into the distance, imaging what it would be like if she told the world about her feelings. This screen shot shows the girl lying on the floor. This is used as it is a close up showing her emotions. They show that she is weak and slowing giving up. The man is shown in this scene because it allows us to see his emotions, as it is a close up. It helps us to see the emotions from both his and Adeles point of view and how they are similar as they are thinking the same things.
