Nirvana-Lithium

How GoodWins theory can apply to this video:

There is a definite representation of a stage performance in fact that's all the video is and this could be showing fans a visual experience of what it would be like to see them perform. Genre characteristics are represented as well as we see the band members jumping around throwing their instruments about to show an aggressive nature and highly energetic performance.

Mise En Scene:

We see in the video dark colours being represented such as blacks and purples. This helps create av dark heavy strong atmosphere which reflects the power n the music and highlights to strength of the guitar used in the song and rough singing. We see the code and convention of high energy being shown as he swings his guitar round and we see the band jumping around performing. I like how silhouettes are used in this video as i think it help create a dark heavy surreal effect as we watch the shadows dance. The low key lighting used helps create a heavy atmosphere and also helps represent and maintain the feeling of a live performance.

Editing:

Because of all the dark colours used in the video i think that maybe at some point colour filters were used to help achieve this effect. We see the use of overlapping frames in the video and this helps show two different performances and helps keep the video interesting and allow them to make fade in and fade out transitions. Slow motion is also used mainly throughout the whole of the video this helps create a dramatic effect on the video making the video look intense and highlights the song.

Camera Angles and Movement:

At one point there is a scene where there is a 180 degree tilt used on the drummer this creates a surreal effect and is very pleasing for viewers to watch as it messes with your eyes. High angles are used on the audience to give you the band members perspective as they perform to allow viewers and fans feel a connection to the band. Low angles are also used in shots where we see the band members playing their instruments this is to represent the fans perspective as you watch them perform. Also a lot of close ups ares use on both members of the band and their instruments so we can feel the music and also be introduced to the band members as first time viewers.
