Camera:
The video starts with close ups, of two people kissing in a field. This tells the audience that there is a connection between these two people. The use of the close up and zooms close up is then used when the singer as he starts to sing. With cuts between the singer and the story which makes the music video flow and gives time for thoughts and feelings. The song then stops and the narrative is then moved forward, with the boy leaving the girl to join army. To show the anger of the couple, there is quick movement of the camera and fast cuts. Building the tension for the audience and making the anger more intense. The band shots are all in isolated area, which help to separate the band from the story. Close up shots of each individual instrument is used, to show the audience them being played, this makes the video more appealing. The close up of the singer during the key words in the song, emphasise them and makes the tension and feelings in the words more intense for the audience.
Costune:
The clothing for the band is black and white. These colours contrast with each other and make the members stand out more. The black and white colour for the band seems to be a convention used by many of the videos. This is something that I am going to have to consider when creating my video, if my video follows this convention it will make it easier for the audience to identify the video as 'Alternative Rock.'
