2. First scene
The instruments show that this video will
be a performance base video.
The colours on
the floor and
walls are very
bold and eye
catching.
The music is slow
and matches how
the signer walks
on slowly
3. Second scene
The music with its slow tempo matches the methodical
wrapping of his hand and the lyrics match as he is
singing about pretending and he is covering something
up.
4. Third scene
As music picks up speed
the camera pans and
changes quick with it
The band in the middle of the shot
emphasises the fact the this is a band
performance
The line can show the
difference between the
band and their noise
and the darkness on the
other side.
5. Fourth scene
First close up of the
lead is conventional as
it is like other popular
music videos
The red bold
colour could
symbolize their
fierceness
6. Fifth Scene This is going against what has
already been represented in the
video by this police officer being all
in uniform while the performers are
all wearing casual clothing
They are numbered,
this reinforces the
fact that they are not
as free as the band
The lyrics could also be symbolic as they
are talking about pretenders which could
be the officers as they are hiding their
true selves
7. Sixth Scene
This shot shows the difference more
clearly between the band and the police
officer as they are free and he is being
controlled
8. Seventh Scene
Once again they are
all numbered
showing that they
have no choice and
are all listed. This also
says that they are
being controlled by a
higher power
All the faces look the same
as in same shape and colour
This makes them have even
less freedom and makes
them more like a big mass
The lyrics also say that they are
pretending and that they know what
they are isn’t really what they are.
9. Ninth scene
This shot is there just to show that none of them
are individual and that they are all the same and
pretending to be something they aren’t
10. Tenth scene
The video has been slowed down and this
is because the music has become quitter
with a lower tempo and all around being
more calm
11. Eleventh scene The red can symbolize their freedom and
individual personality and how that is
beating their mass of the same
As time goes by
this meaning can
be seen
differently today.
Now it can be
seen as all of the
innocent blood
the USA police
have spilt over
the last few years
and how the
people are
fighting back and
over powering
the police
