This video is shot in an abandoned warehouse. The tone of the video is very dark; the colours are mainly grey and similar and there is low-key lighting which enhances the feel of the video. The crowd are dressed in dark, scruffy clothes-they're dressed for a gig not a party. Although we're using two characters, they will be dressed in their usual clothes.
There are many different shots used in the video; close ups of the bands face, to show the performance aspects and the band singing the words. There are long shots and also mid long shots to show the crowd; the density and the size of it, showing that the band has a lot of support from the fans. There are also close ups and extreme close ups shots of the instruments, demonstrating that the band are playing live instruments. There are also a lot of quick pan shots that move with the sound of the guitar. This is particularly effective as the camera movements are synchronized with the song, making a smooth continuity editing.
The editing/cut rate is cut in time with the change of the beat and the guitar, adding to the rhythm of the song. It helps to enhance the beat and the guitar changes and makes the video fit very well with the song.
The video suits very well with the genre of the music, and was most probably low budget as it is all shot in one place, with no costume, location or scene changes. The only props are the instruments the band are playing, and the florescent lighting is the only lighting used to light the area.
This video is predominantly a performance video, and the focus on the band on stage is a main part of the video. This video is where the group received most of their motivation and ideas from and has inspired us to create our own ideas similar to this type of video. Although we aren't going to use a performance video, this is useful because we are going to use a low-key lighting and an old building.
