Best Of You Analysis

By Will Yeates

Opening shot is an extreme close up of just the singers mouth and microphone.

Line “To weak to give in” coincides with image of the word resist written on the wall this could be the band amplifying to us that we should never give up.

Lots of images of inspiring quotes and of young children and natural phenomena’s, gives us the amplified message of not giving up and pushing through hard times.

We see predominantly low angle shots looking up at the singer to show that he is the star and regular medium shots of the other band members to show that they are the band and not the main star.

Long shot of the band silhouetted against the sunset show us that even though the singer is the main star they are still one band and are equals among each other.

Close up on the guitarist during the solo to show that he is the main guitarist so when there is a solo it is him portraying the star image of the band.

The contrasted images of despair and hope are the band amplifying the message that in life there are good and bad times but you have to push through them.

The Bands F symbol at the end of the video could be used as a part of their image of the rock band so they have a graffiti F as their symbol.
