Unfortunately, because of copyright problems they were unable to upload the video onto youtube, but above is a link to their post on the final cut of the music video.


What I like about the Video

• The use of camera shots are very effective
• The Slow motion shots
• The angles used are very clever, making the illusion that they are flying
• Good use of close-ups
• The reversed smoking shot
• the fast forwarded shots,

What I dislike about the Video

• The changing colour scheme, between black and white to colour, would have preffered all one
• The little control on the lighting, as it changes as its outside, contrasting shots throughout

What I want to avoid in my own video

• unsteady camera work
• the way in which the camera footage does not match the music with the transactions, an awkward look to it
• The actors not singing, doesnt seem conventional to a music video, even though alot of close ups used
• Different lighting, creates a distorted look to the video, outside, therefore the lighting isnt controlled

What inspired me

• Close up on the guitar
• close ups
• angles used, showing the different power which the band members hold
• the reversed smoking shot, found this very clever, and would love to use this in our own video
