1. 9 shot analysis
shot 1
at 0:03 we see the lead singer of the band centrally framed holding a flare in his
hand lip syncing to the first few lines of his song the very low lighting makes It
hard to see anything but the red lighting coming from the flare
shot 2
at 0:08 we see someone dressed as a polar bear sitting alone on a very low key
lighted bus the colours in this shot are very interesting with the cool blue seats
and the centrally framed white polar bear on his own which shows the idea of
loneliness in the song with it being about a breakup
shot 3
at 0:46 we see a close up of the drummer to show someone instrument syncing
this section of the video has allot of thought beats switching through the band
members and mimicking the fast paced music in this section of the song
shot 4
at 1:14 we see someone in a tiger suit centrally framed layed infront of a
mortuary possibly showing that he is dieng he is alone and everything is dark
except the one light shining on him possibly to show going toward the light
maybe the animal costumes are used to represent the idea that we are all just
animals
shot 5
at 1:22 we see people in other animal suits huddled around a fire in dark lighting
in an alleyway showing again loneliness and poverty because they look homeless
shot 6
2. in this shot at 1:49 we see allot of people in animal suits in what appears to be a
mosh pit however throughout the polar bear who appears to be who the
narrative is based around is usually central in shot this could be to just show
fans in a mosh pit to the actuall music but it could also be to show the main
narrative character being alone and being beaten up because he seems to be the
center of attack in the mosh pit the smoke in this shot and dull colours to show
the anger maybe and dullness
shot 7
at 1:52 we see the drummer of the band throwing his drum stand to the floor and
this section of the video shows the band destroying there instruments so to
speak wich is sort of a cliché rock thing to do and goes with this style of music
shot 8
at 3:00 we see a shot of a bus driving slow motion through a tunnel this shot is
slow compared to the other shots wich mimicks the contrast of this section of the
song as this section slows the tempo down for a small section the colours are still
blues and the lighting is low key wich is still mirroring the main narrative
characters feelings
shot 9
at 3:48 we see another shot that is typical of a rock music video we see a shot of
the full band performing this jump from the narrative to live performance is
typical of rock videos
