Semiotics of the first shot
...
- Fade in from black - reflects lyrics of history
- Group-shot
- Slow-mo
- Monochrome - connoting past
- (Medium) Long shot
- Eye-line/Mid-angle
- X-factor
- Exposition is anchored
- Deep field of focus
- Rule-of-thirds - they are in the centre
Semiotics of second shot
...
...
- Close-up
- Shadow field of focus
- Black and white
- Elliptical - Carol Vernallise argues videos can't have narrative - too short
...
- Extreme long shot for members at the back and long shot for the 2 at the front
- used to be together, now are all separate, looking in different direction
- no slow mo, more colour aka present
- rough setting, tattoos, facial hair shows a change in demographic of audience - no longer a desexualised boy-band
Pace
- 6 shots in 8 first seconds
Sound
- Diegetic sound for the crowd - not uncommon in music videos
