Radioactive by imagine dragons
- Mise-en-scene
- Dark low key lighting
- Sets the mood for the video.
- it fits well with the type of song
- Settings
- at the start of the video there is a nartural setting
- Makes it seem disurted and fits in with the lyrics
of the song
- the leaves on the road makes it seem like
there has been an apocalypse
- Dungeon
- there is a break up of the naure scenes with scenes of a dungeon.
- This gives a contrasting effect on the audience asd
the peacful nature scenes are broken with the imags
of a dark dungeon
- this also suggests to the audience that the
woman is walking to that setting
- the fight club
- it again is a contrast from where the woman has
came from which was a natural stting which is
very green.
- it is very dark and dirty this fits in very
well with the apoclypic theme.
- costumes
- the woman that is introduced first is wearing dark clothing
- This fits with the theme of the video.
- In the fight club they are wearing dark clothes with hats,
which makes them seem dark, and even disreputable.
- the boss of the fight club is wearing wa white jacket but
with a dark shirt on.
- This makes him stand out from the rest of the crowd but also
shows his true nature.
- the band is also wearing dark coloured costomes
to fit in with the dungeon setting, as it is dark
and depressing
- Props
- Instruments
- They are covered in a layer of dirt and dust, which
suggest that they have been down in the dungon a
long time.
- It also gives thier band the image of being pop artists as they are
palying instruments.
- the cage
- At the start of the video the audience is introduced
to a cage that is covered by a dirty blanket.
- this introduces a mystrey to the video and makes
the audience wonder what is under the blanket.
- the dirty blanket again fits in well with the theme of the
video, as the rest of the video has a grimmy feel to it as it is
after an apocalypse.
- The monsters
- They are the fighters are pupets which givers
the video a slight change from others and a
supernatural element.
- they have used them instead of people,
and it shows thaat it is in a differnt
world.
- the womans mosnster is a pink teddy
bear which is quite feminin
- Due to it being pink it is underestimated and
the audience think it will lose. however it
doesn't.
- the thrown
- When the boss is introduced he is sittting on a
chiar that is above the rest of the other people and
no one else is sitting down.
- this not only estabishses his importance but shows
that he is above the rest of the people there.
- Blocking
- In a lot of sceens there is other things in front of the camera.
- this makes it less focused and fits in well with the fight club setting.
- About the song
- it is an electronic rock, alternative rock with elements of
dubstep.
- The music video came out on the 10 December 2010
- The lyrics speak about an apocalypse and an revolution.
This again ties in with the music video.
- the video is narrative and has a performance
elements in it with the band singing and them
playing instruments.
- Camera work
- there is an establishing shot which introduces the
woman and the cage.
- It then follows her and it then becomes a tracking shot of
the woman. for the next few scenes.
- There is then also a mid shot of the woman that then
comes into focus, this is also the first time you see her
face.
- this introduces the character. who before this scene had
only seen a long distance shot of before.
- There is a shot of the outbuilding and then a
close shot of the woman's eyes looking around
- this shows where she is and that she is
anxious as she is looking around.
- most of the shots are hand held
and they move the camera around
- this fits in with the theme of the
video as it is very cayotic
- there is lots of mid shots of the band singing
and playing instruments, which shows of their talents.
- pans and tilts
- this video uses a lot of them as they introduce
charactres like the evil boss.
- there is close ups when the puppets are fighting.
- this shows the violence and it is unexpected because they are teddy
bears.
- Towards the end of the video there is lots of close-ups
of the men shocked at the pink bear winning.
- These are really good at showing the
charters emotions, to help get arcross
to the audience how the charters are
feeling
- Editing
- parallel editing
- this is right at the beginning of the video as there is cuts
between the shots of nature and the scenes of the dungeon
- These are quite contadiction as one has high key
lighting and the other one is dark low key lighting .
- this also happens throughout the video as they
constantly go back and forth between the fighting
club and the dungeon where the band is singing.
- this links the two scenes together and shows
that they are related.
- eye line matches
- throughout the video there is a few eye line matches, like
when there is a close up of the womans eyes and then the
camera shows that she was looking at the teddy bear.
- this shows the audience exactly what she is looking at
and this gets the audience more involved with the
video.
- CGI
- This is used when the pink puppet uses it powers to kill
the big purple monster.
- filters
- At the beginning of the video there is a filter
over the scenes with the woman to make it
seem darker and to fit the mood of the video
better.
- What i would use in our video
- I like how they uses a pan or tilt to introduce a charater.
- I also like the narrative of the video as its is
different from other videos as it is unusual, and
creative
- sound
- There is a lot of sound in this video as the soundtrack cuts in and out of the video.
- this means that there is deigetic sound in the video
- this makes the audience feel like the events are actully happening.
- The song is synchronized to the mood of the video.
- There is also images at the right time to go with
the sound, like when there is a drum sound there
is an image of one of the band hiting a drum
