On this first shot the camera tracks in, from a mid shot, as the camera tracks in the shot becomes less blurred. This gives the effect of something becoming clear at last and I like how it was achieved through the focusing of the camera.

Most of the cuts made are jump cuts. This gives the effect of being fast paced. Some cuts are made in time with the music but I don’t think that has been made a priority.

Here we have a close up of the lead singer in the band. This is used so that it helps the audience to know who to identify with. The narrative and the performance shots are linked throughout the video and only the band are in it, no extra actors.

In this close up shot we see how the lighting has captured the water on the windscreen and made it reflect back. I like this effect because it shrouds half of his face and makes the scene seem more realistic.

In this close up shot we see how the light is behind the lead singer and this makes most of his features shadowed. This means that the audience can’t see the expression on his face which really goes against conventions.

The black and white really gives this video a vintage feel. I think this almost fits with the conventions of rock videos because it has an edge to it.

The effect in the above shot gives the impression that the shot was filmed through glass, like it was being filmed from inside the car. Almost giving a match-on-action effect because of the band being in a car.

Again we see that backlighting was used. It gives the effect of a silhouette. Almost giving the impression that the audience should focus more on the lyrics at this point in the video

In this close up shot we see a real contrast of black and white in the image. The white almost connotes innocence.

The camera movement for this shot was a pan upwards. This was used when the car looked like it was moving forward. It also made a good transition between scenes.

Again, at the end of the video we see the same mid shot using the same focusing effect. This gives continuity to the video showing how almost it was as if it was a story that he was retelling.

The last shot is an establishing shot in colour and we see how the same car we see earlier in the video is pulling away. On the screen is the name of the production company and it’s interesting how they’ve used a shot as the background to link the production company more with the video.

The video starts with an establishing shot. We see coloured hues in the background but it feels very hazy, almost dream-like.

Again we see how the close up shot of the lead singer is very hazy but the pop of colour from her hair stands out from the mist.

This shot is a close up of the man holding something. This implies that the object is of importance and the audience should focus on it.

This shot is after the grenade has exploded, we don’t hear this, we only hear the non-diegetic music, which isn’t usually expected.

Although there is a lose up of the lead singer in the first performance shot. Her face is almost shrouded in mist making it hard to see her expressions.

Again, all we see hear is the non-diegetic music even though we see the explosions. The shot has been slowed down and this gives the effect of her being calm.

We see that backlighting has occurred again and we, the audience, can’t see the lead singer because the of the high angle. This gives the impression that she is powerful and knows what she is doing.

Again, we see a vibrant pop of colour and this stands out from the grey background.

In this lose up shot wee see how the haziness of the colour is overpowering. The state of the clothes is really amplified with the blue powder paint covering it.

In this shot we see he character dropping the baton to the ground. The camera follows this movement without any cuts by panning downwards.

There is no diegetic sound in the first shot, it automatically goes to the non-diegetic music. This close up shows how we are supposed to take notice of her expression.

The first performance shot that we come to is a long shot of the lead singer playing in a white walled, what could be studio, alone.

This shot is a mid shot. However it is heavily focused on his hands and our eyes are immediately drawn to them.

The next shot is a close up of the medics hand. This gives a level of continuity throughout the shots.

This is the first shot where we see that the performance and narrative are intertwined. Also we can see the difference between the state of the same costume at different points of the video.

Here, we see an extreme close up of the characters face. However, the camera is focused on the machine behind here, signifying its importance.

The video starts off with a mid shot of this character running away. The light is behind him and we can’t really see the front of him.

This shot is sped up and we can see how the light is speckled over him. Maybe this connotes how he is trapped.

The first performance shot shows a mid shot with the entire band in it. The tone of the image has ore of s vintage feel.

The jump cuts are extremely fast paced which matches the conventions of the genre. The backlight makes the band member look like a silhouette which I like.

This mid shot contains really low lighting which gives it a more mysterious feel to the shot.

This close up shot of the character shows the audience who they are supposed to identify with.
