R.E.M- End of the world.

Mise En Scene:

We see the setting is immediately untidy and cluttered and looks quite bare and not a very homely environment. This follows the code and convention of alternative rocks videos by being performed and filmed in what looks like an abandoned house.The lighting in the scene seems to be high key filmed in the day i think this is so we can establish the setting. When a boy is holding what looks like a family photo we see low key lighting being used and the only lighting used looks light its being shone from a torch instead of a spot light.

Editing:

The transitions are quick throughout the video to maintain maybe the panic the boy may be feeling rummaging around through the stuff. A 360 degree tilt is used. I really think this is effective in keeping the viewers attention as it messes with their eyes because its an unusual camera movement and connotes to the world spinning and how everything changes.

Camera Angles and Movement:

Rolling shots are used to show the actors movement and allow viewers to be sucked into the video as they try to concentrate and focus on the narrative of the video. Low angles and close ups are used on the clutter to make the room look more messy on a bigger scale. A medium close up is used as the boy stands with the picture this is so we can focus on both the picture and the actor and try to figure out the direct link between the two. A high angle is used as he lays with his dog. I like this as i think it shows how isolated he is because we are all looking down on him and we cant see anybody else or anything else its just him and his pet dog.
