Camerawork:
We see a close up of a woman standing up. This could give us an indication of who the video is about or maybe could be her that is in the video. The reason we will see this shot would be because the director will want us to ask questions of why we are seeing her at the start.
We then see a shot of the band. This is very conventional of rock music videos, however we see a dj mixing deck this is not very conventional this could indicate to the audience that the song is not a conventional rock song and has elements of other genres of song. This could also indicate that people that are into other genres and not really into rock could maybe like this music video.
We then see a shot of the main lady in the music video sitting down and as she sits down the people that are sitting on the table in the first place have gotten up. This could indicate to us that the song is about her and her struggle to find friends. The reason that the director has chosen to use this shot is because we are supposed to feel sorry for the lady in the music video.
Mise en scene:
The location of the music video is really only set in two different places these are a school and a blank room with just a band in it. The location of the school indicates that the music video is about a school child and the problems that school children could be going through in their school lives. We also see that the room that the band has no color in it and the band are in very dull color this could be for a few diffrent reasons. It could be to show that the woman is the main reason for the musiv video or maybe to show that the band has adapted a dull out look on life due to reasons not explained or maybe the way they have been treated in the past.
The lighting in this music video is very dim. This could indicate on how the band and the main person in the music video is really feeling. This could show that both sets of people are really not happy in their everyday lives and need to something to change. This would be why the director chose this sort of lighting. This could also be linked to the weather as this is also very dim and this could be for the above reasons.
The costumes in this music video are all very dim and not colorful at all which like the lighting could show that the people in the video are not very happy and could be having some real troubles. This could indicate the troubles that the people in the music video are having. This could also be linked to the lighting as that is very dim. This could be done by the director to give the overall feel to the team.
Editing:
The editing in this music video is very slow paced. I think the reason for this is because the video is about a serious topic and not a very happy topic therefore by choosing to have a very slowly edited it will fit the topic better as the main lady is seen to be slowly moving around and the world around her is moving a lot faster.
