This document provides descriptions of various shots from a music video: 1) The first shot is a slow-motion long shot of the full band playing, indicating the slow tempo of the music. 2) Subsequent shots show the camera going in and out of focus for a casual feel, and medium-long shots provide different locations. 3) Close-ups of the lead singer and bass player highlight their elements, while an extreme close-up of the symbols shows their musical importance. Lighting, camera techniques, and shots of the band contribute to the narrative and musical elements of the video.

the music tempo is going to be rather slow.

Within a few second of this shot in the video the camera goes in and out of focus making it very
effective and gives a more casual feel to the video. At this point the filming is taking place in a studio
and the headphones are a huge indication to this as it’s a stereotypical feature of recording studio
equipment.

all effort into the final seconds of the piece, the low key lighting once again give the correct feeling
the song genre should be giving, then the music slowly fades out.
