Type of Video - Performance and Narrative
Settings: Inner City Carpark, Underground Subway
Camera work: Close-ups of band member, mid shots, two shot, sot reverse shot, wide shot of band playing, hand held in tunnel, pan of car going past
Lighting: Black and white
Main Theme or idea of video: Performance/ drug dealing - the person who brought the drugs off the drug dealer gets chased by the police - Ian Watkins (lead singer) appears to be the conscience of both the drug dealer and the person buying drugs, as they can't see him.
Special Effects: Black and white, blurs a few shots of Ian Watkins singing, enhanced lighting in the tunnel
Editing: Mainly Stright Cuts, a few fade to black, shrot takes makes the video choppy and fast, which goes with the upbeat music,
Main Characters - Band Memebers, Simon, Mikey
Overall effect: very jumpy and quick due to the editing of shots
I like the use of the editing - quick and effective, very much to the point, and enabling them to use many variety of camera shots. I also love the symbolic idea of Ian Watkins being their consciences... I think the idea that they can't see him is very effective. The words are linked with the video very closely, with the idea that someone is in trouble and getting chased and caught.
