Analysis of the music video


Close ups on the instrument used to introduce the song


When the band are first shown by a long shot it is very intense as they have dull
expressions on their face and they are all stood side by side.





Close up on singers face, again he has the same expression on his face as he did at the start
this continues till the end.



This shots pans across the band, it works well because only a few camera shots are used throught the music video so i hasn't been over complicated but at the same time it is very effective.


Here it is focusing on the background, it continually changes throughout the music video, this has been done by projecting moving images onto a white background, the clips used flow with the tempo of the music.

Here when the beat changes to a lower tone as does the background which turns blue. The colour blue has connotations of sadness and feeling down so this really created that feeling.


Again it's the same shot that has been used many times in the music video. This particular shot is effective because it has the large building in the background, it shows power and strength together with the group in front of the building with the expressions on their faces.


Here the beat changed to slightly up beat with the background mimicking the beat of the song it changed to orange and the movement of the clouds went in time with the music.


I realised here that throughout the whole music video the group didn't move at all yet i still felt that there was so much going on, this was because only the background changes which is where all the movement comes from and although only basic camera shots are used it is still very well though out and it works very well.  


As the song ends a black light slides down from the top of the shot to signify the end and when the black light reaches the floor the sound stops.
