00:00-01:35

Mise en scene:

-Low key lighting is used to create dark heavy atmospher which matches the music.
-Bright lights are used to make ups for the low key lighting.
-The setting is outside which is a popular code and convention.
-Fair ground lights are used to suggest celebrations and a good social life.
-Tiger mask is used as we see a character being shown repeatedly throughout the film wearing a tiger mask showing that maybe he is a firce character who can be a real tabby once you get to know them.
-Playing the instruments which is a popular code and convention in alternative rock videos.
-Stage performance is also shown throughout the video which means that goodwins theory can be applied to this video.

Editing:

-Overlayed scenes are used to show more than one scene at a time and create smoother transistions.
-Slow motion scenes are used to create a more dramatic effect and mirror the heaviness of the music in the song.
-HDR effects are used to cartonoonise characters and make them more noticeable.

Camera angles and Movement:

-Rolling shots used to give video more energy.
-Panning shot is used circuling ornament.
-Tilt is used up guitar neck to show sleekness of instrument.
-Close ups are used on the instruments and audeinces hands to show a clear link between fans and the music.
-Long shot is used as character sits on stage clicking to the music to show an outisde perspective into the band.

This video looks very urban and is set outisde giving the video a sense of adventure and awareness. Also this video shows direct links between music video and the song itself by creating heavy atmosphere to link with the heavy guitar and bass.
