The Location chosen by the band in this video, conveys similar things to the our music videos. The use of extreme/close-ups for the majority of the shots that included the band, conforms to the theory of Andrew Goodwin. Gives the video a rough and gritty feel. There is no extreme long shots of the city, they are replaced with framing shots of the 'Underground' of the city. Adding to the niche nature of the video.



The main incentive for using this video was the focus on the female protagonist, as our video includes a narrative strand focusing on the a female lead. The genre of the video is the same as ours, but has a female lead singer. This ensure many of the shots used of the lead 'Amy Lee' cannot be applied to our video. But the main reason for choosing this video is the seamless transition between narrative strands. This is mainly due to the two strands being set in the same location, but a similar logic can be applied to a video with the two strands being set in different locations, similar actions being completed in both can link the two thus a cut can be seamlessly applied. But as the two strands follow two completely different grops of people, a similar angle can be the common link allowing for a seamless link.


The main focus of this video is the focus on the band performing, our song is very instrument savvy. Encouraging a creative use of the camera shots to showcase the instruments used. This ensures the video will be more complex in its editing process. As in addition to the thought beats used in the video the cuts must coincide with the instruments in the song. This video was a simple reference on the use of the editing to ensure the instruments are showcase in all their glory.

This video has must explicit gore to show the extent suicide has on the psyche of the friends and family of the victim. We will be using this in more implicit manner as the brutality of suicide is not as apparent in the lyrics than in our video.


This video illustrates the use of mise-en-scene that is need for a our video, as our video is not as surreal as this, the extent can be lessened. But the principle is the same, the use of colour has strong connotation that we must exploit to gain a response from the viewer. The main use of colour in our video is the difference between the band and the Jane narrative. We also looking at the visual transition present in the video and how they are connected to the lyrics and the action shown on screen.


The attire present in this video is a little to surreal for our video, but the video has many redeeming qualities, the most explicit being the transition between shots, the light fade merges with the cuts. Further personifying the overall tone of the video. This creative editing will only be effective if the performance is believable, the lead singer does a great job of emphasizing the lyrics. The attire worn by the band is not suited for our video.

 
This video did not influence the music video, more so the Digipak and Advert. Throughout the video text appears containing lines such as 'Forgiveness', 'Anger'. This interesting way for showcasing emotions, is a great platform for us to add depth to the Digipak, we decided to add 'Lines' across the panes, which maybe messages or maybe describing emotions.
