I am looking at this video because it films band performance in an unusual environment. The video like a lot of Rock music videos is a cross between band performance and narrative. The video starts off with the lead singer entering the warehouse followed by the rest of the band and they start playing.
On the performance part of the video we see a lot of quick cuts between the different band members and the band as a whole. Camera shots that you see are close-ups of the band members particularly the lead and the band members instruments. There are also a lot of long shots of the whole band in the warehouse. These camera techniques are something that we could bring into our performance although they are not in a studio as such more of a warehouse we could still use these performance techniques. Long shots of the whole band would not be as easy because we will not have this kind of size but it stills gives us a better understanding of how we could use the studio.
The other main part of this video is the narrative. At the chorus of the song the riot control man enter and we start to see conflict. We see close-ups of the band and the riot controllers and consistent cuts between both of them. This is something we will not be recreating as they have brought the narrative into the studio unlike most rock videos which will separate the performance and the narrative and this is what we will do.
