There is a variety of camera shots used in the music video, ranging from close-ups to wide shots. The angles are generally steady without excessive high or low angles. The editing follows the pace of the music, with cuts often matching the beats. While the genre normally uses washed out colors, this video features vivid, saturated colors that give it a surreal edge and challenge conventions.

1. How does the music video use technical aspects

2. Camera shotsThere is a huge variety of shot types used in this video ranging from close ups to extremely wide shots.One of the notable uses of these shot types is how there are close ups directly juxtaposed against very wide shots

3. Angles and framingOverall the angles of the shots is quite steady there isn’t an excessive use of high or low angle. And when there is it’s very slight, even when conventionally characters would be shown with a low angle such as the man on the cross to show the inferiority.The framing overall is quite well done, especially so in the interior shots, the actions or focus is usually in the middle of the shot and are eyes are directed there by the inward sloping walls.

4. Mise-en-sceneA lot of the shots are quite “cluttered” when it comes to the mise-en-scene, they is a lot of vivid colours used and the sets can be quite prominent at times, this challenges the conventions usually seen within the genre and also gives a very surreal edge to the video which is further enhanced by the cartoonish nature of the trees and set overall.

5. EditingAs is essential when editing for a music video, the pace of the edits follows the pace of the music when the music picks up so do the cuts. Often in time with beats as well. This is a key part of music videos and one which applies across every genre not just Rock.The shots appear quite saturated in terms of colour this itself is unusual as normally within the genre we see more washed out colours blues/greens even yellow colourisation not often does the colour look purposefully starker, this is a clear example of this video challenging genre conventions.

6. SoundAs befits the majority of music videos the only sound in the piece is the actual track there is no added sound effects or use of diegetic sounds.As previously mentioned though sound plays a larger role than normal in the editing process as at the base of it the entire video is about the sound.
