Rock music video



This is an effective music video because they manage to successfully manage to avoid  viewer fatigue well .They do this well although they are only dominantly in one location and and use very basic camera shots throughout such and the close up, mid shot and long shot. However I think the overall mise-en-scene of the video is very good because the band members are making a big effort in doing a lot to make the video interesting by wearing a lot of different costumes to try and make the video funnier but also interesting at the same time.This would also help reduce viewer fatigue because they will be wondering what they are going to do next so it will make them want to keep watching the video.

The Cinematography of the video is very basic but the main attention of what is going on is on the band members enabling the camerawork to be very basic. There are only dominantly three shot types being used: close up, mid-shot and long shot. Having such basic camerawork could have the video seem quite ineffective had they not been doing so much in the shot making it seem a lot more interesting.

The lip sync is also ok becuase when they do it, it is in time but at parts when they could be they aren't always doing the lip sync but this doesn't have that much of a big effect as the viewer is more likely to be interested in what they are doing rather than seeing if they are doing the lip syncing.Also the music of the video is quite loud and clear so someone watching it will clearly understand what is happening in the video and what is being said. There is a bit of plain talking said at th very end of the video which isn't really relevant but has been put in there.

The editing is very simple again it is only cut shots used throughout. However it is clever when they show theb garage door go down with the band members drressed in one costume and the second the door has shut it quickly re-opens showing them dressed in something completely different. Also there is one point where it is shot in slow motion to show another parody of a different band/music video.
