2. Shot type and movement: long shot,
very slow zoom.
Analysis
Drawers opening and closing matches
beat, guitar played matching riff in
music.
Contrast between dark background
and bright focus brings attention to
the central object. Also shows the
dark, musty surroundings.
Lip syncing when lyrics start.
Abstract and impossible scenario gives
the impression of a concept based
video.
Music/lyrics
You know that I would love to see you
next year
Edit: Swipes across to a different set of
drawers and a similar concept – fast,
continues momentum of video.
3. Shot type and movement: steadycam
forward tracking shot,
Analysis
Movement of artist mirrors the fast,
upbeat song. Artist stands out from
surroundings as he is central to the
shot, and wears the only colour on-screen.
Only other thing in shot that draws
attention is the model skeleton, as not
only does it stand out from the
background due to its colour, the artist
also looks at it which makes the viewer
also pay attention to it.
Video doesn’t match lyrics whatsoever.
Music/lyrics
You know that I would love to see you
next year
I hope that I am still alive next year
Edit: long take, with fast edits straight
after.
4. Shot type and movement: still camera,
wide shot showing three band
members
Analysis
The black and red colour scheme fits
the Indie/Rock genre of the song. The
video may be trying to reflect the lyric
“Well how am I supposed to know?”
through it being nonsensical, having a
man walk out of a cupboard and the
drummer being inside a drawer. The
lead singer is very energetic which
mirrors the fast pace of the song.
Music/lyrics
Well how am I supposed to know?
Edit: many short cuts
5. Shot type and movement: still camera,
wide shot
Analysis
Colour scheme is consistent. Lip
syncing/performance continues.
Theme of magic and nonsensical
things continues.
Lyrics don’t match visuals.
Music/lyrics
I like to wait to see how things turn
out
If you apply some pressure
Edit: cut as if the magician “appears”
suddenly
6. Shot type and movement: still camera,
then quick zoom out. Wide shot.
Analysis
Colour scheme is consistent.
Form of performance – drawers
open/close to beat, then doors slam to
the bass pedal hit at the end of the
bar.
Fast pace consistent through cut
Music/lyrics Edit: cut in quick, fade out after into
slower chorus.
7. Shot type and movement: close up on
faces, slow pan movement
Analysis
Colour scheme turns dark and
contrasting. Slower paced section
corresponds with stripped down
chorus – fewer instruments, less going
on.
Music/lyrics
I like to wait to see how things turn
out
If you apply some pressure
Edit: slow cuts
8. Shot type and movement: wide shot
with all band members, still camera
Analysis
Back to red and black colour scheme.
Lead singer is extremely energetic,
very exaggerated movements and
expressions match the fast pace of the
song. All band members shown for the
fist time, in the part of the song that is
the most layered and full.
Abstract theme continues with
blindfolds and lead singer’s nosebleed.
Music/lyrics
What happens when you lose
everything
you just start again
Edit: somewhat long cuts, always with
lead singer in shot.
