Rock video analyse

Editing
The editing in this video is fast paced editing. The video also shows a narrative which is of a rock star travelling on tour looking for love. The editing is also montage editing this is because it changes different locations from each shot. Its also has more than 3 locations in the music video which is a convention of a music video.

Low Key Lighting
Low key lighting is a constant theme throughout the music video which is a typical convention of a rock music video because we associate rock with the colour Black and other dark colours. The title 'Use Somebody' can also link in with the low key lighting because it suggests that the song is about somebody who needs help and is in a dark place.

Camera Shots
The camera shots in the video are very mixed and not always focused on the main artist. However when the artist is lip synching the shots are close ups of the artist to show the emotion and passion of what the song means to him. The music video is showing a narrative which means that it is like a movie and that the music video helps show us what the song means,.

Costume
The costumes in the music video are of a typical rock music video, with the artists wearing dark colours, Black, Dark grey in the video to create the rock convention in the video. The costume is very important because it helps set the scene in the music video, because if the artists were wearing bright colours the video wouldn't be a rock video.
