Rock music video

We mainly just see the band playing as well which is good because you see the lip sync being done along with then playing the instruments which is good as an audience member to see because you clearly can see the lip sync and whether or not they are playing the song or not. The music is also played clearly throughout the video so an audience mamber can clearly hear what is being said. Also there is nothing else done sound-wise it is just the song being played for the whole video. Also the lyrics are very relevant to the video because at places what the lyrics are saying is being shown through the video.

 Also they manage to make it an interesting video which probably wouldn't get viewer fatigue although it is all filmed in mainly one location. The mise-en-scene is very basic it is all filmed in one of two houses or just outside. However, the mise-en-scene of the two houses is very good because you can see a clear contrast of the two houses and understand instantly how different they are. Also the costuming chosen is very effective because again the contrast between the two is very clear/obvious while watching the video.

The cinematography of the video is good because I think they manage to avoid viewer fatigue well because they use a variety of short, sharp shots so that a lot seems that it is happening although that may not be the case. They may be very simple shots but because they come across so quickly they seem a lot more interesting and effective while watching the video.

They use quite clever editing at places, for example when they split the screen in two showing the contrast between the two people's lives and how they seem/act. Throughout the video you see there is something wrong between the two and at the end see what happens. Also when we see the split screen the whole of the time it is showing the difference between the two poeple. Also there is another bit when rather than having it filmed cleanly they use photos to follow the beat of the music and add a bit more variety to the video which is effective as it is showing how they are being creative and trying to avoid viewer fatigue by making it more interesting.
