2. Fade into the video we hear a single guitar playing 2 chords
and we see someone pulling on a pair of black gloves, this
has sinister connotations of a heist or some other illegal
activity.
3. We see a quick flash of images of people filling bags
with torches and video tapes, further implies these
people are going to do something illegal.
4. We see these people testing their flashlights in black
boiler suits all the while the lone guitar is playing those 2
chords in the background, implies these people are going
to be committing some kind of heist and the music adds
to this by creating a tense suspense atmosphere.
5. We see our first shot of the singer and he appears to be on
the same train as the people in the boiler suits, implies that
the band are involved with whatever it is those people are
doing.
6. People start to fill up the carriage around the band, this
suggests this is an impromptu performance, however all
these people are wearing typical alternate/ punk clothing
suggesting they are true fans of the band. A visual
representation of the punk/ alternative rock genre.
7. The train stops and the heist people run off the train and
the band and the group gathered around them remain on
the train.
8. We see one of the girls in the balaclavas looking at a
model on a billboard, perhaps comparing herself, this
could be the band trying to amplify the point that about
the almost impossible standard set by models in
modern day magazines and TV.
9. Video of soldiers on the large screen TV perhaps glorifying war,
has been replaced by the people in balaclavas by to a video of
riot scenes and police brutality.
10. Various billboards and the picture of the model have been
vandalized by the protestors, the band could be amplifying
their message through the protestors that they don’t believe
that certain things about the way we live are right and that
we should rebel against them.
11. Protestors start changing out of their hoodies and
balaclavas and into suits and ties then head into an office
building, implying to us that the band is trying to tell us
that even normal people can be protest and make a
difference.
12. Sticker on the door is the same as the one we saw
them put on the tiger cage earlier but were as the
tiger cage was physical the CEO’s cage is mental.
13. The message of this video was that even regular
working day to day people can do things to
change the way we think and the way the world
is run and the band are trying to portray this by
use of the Televised Bard.
