Rock Music Video Analysis (Kasabian - Where Did All the Love Go?)

Cinematography

Mid/Longshots of band -

Large amount of close ups - The large amount of close ups, primarily  on the vocalist and the guitarist help them to make a connection with the audience, as the audience has a clear view of their face.

Mise en Scene

Dark costume - Throughout the music video the costumes that the performers are wearing consist of dark, and dull colours such as black and grey. This creates negative connotations and helps make the tone more downbeat.

Leather Jacket - The lead vocalist of the group can be seen wearing a black leather jacket. This creates the representation of him being rebellious, and creates an image for the band that they do as they wish, and are unruly.

Negative iconography - During the music video the audience is shown shots containing lots of negative connotations, such as child with his face painted like a skull, or a clown. This helps create an appearance of the band being edgy and eccentric.

Low key lighting - Through the use of low key lighting negative connotations of sadness and darkness are created. This gives helps to emphasise the sombre tone of the song.

Performance of instruments -

Editing

Largest duration on band - This is seen through the camera spending the largest amount of time on the band, with very fast cuts to the other locations and characters in the video. This shows the audience that they are the most important part of the video.
