• The props used e.g. The brick wall
and lamps.
• I thought there was an intertexual
reference to
Ghostbusters, because of the
costumes they are wearing in part
of the video.
3. Shots
• Throughout there are a lot of
long shots used, I think this is
because there is so much in the
video that needs to be
captured.
• Some mid-shots, going from
long to mid.
• Close ups mainly of the artist,
but also of other members.
4. Editing
• There is a mixture of jump and straight cuts.
• At the beginning of the music video the camera
zooms up the tube and at the end reverses back
down the tube.
5. Mis-en-scene
• The costumes varies, in some parts of
the video they are dressed quite
casual in other parts they wear quite
eccentric clothing e.g. The tent or
hippo mask.
• The orange background used in the
parts when they are performing
together I think is used to make us
look at the band, as it is quite a
striking colour and focuses your
attention straight at the band.
• There are a majority of props to
accentuate the craziness of the video
e.g. Buckets, bottles, cones, brick
wall, styrofoam and the lamps.
