SD Technical Analysis

I have decided to do a shot technique analysis of the song “No More Room to Breathe” by “There for Tomorrow.” The band sounds very similar to the band we are choosing to use (You Me At Six) so therefore it includes many of the shots we would like to use in our music video.

The music video starts with an establishing shot of the band which is then frequently used during the video with XLS and LS to get the audience comfortable with the location and setting. There is also a blur at the beginning which goes really well with the music introduction, this would work well with our song as well as ours also has a gradual start.

The majority of this music video is performance based with a small narrative along side. This Song consists of many different angles and shot lengths, like you expect to see in a regular Rock Pop music video. The music video consists of mostly very quick shots lasting for about half a second or less, these fit really well with the fast paced track

Frequent CUs of the Lead Singer are commonly used. This provides the audience a good idea of what the Lead Singer looks like and gives an image to the band. This will also be a technique we would prefer to use in our music video as it is a very widespread method throughout the Rock Pop genre.

Throughout the whole music video for “No More Room to Breathe” the camera is constantly moving. This technique gives the video a professional look to it but also making it look hectic which adds to the Rock Pop atmosphere. This is again a common feature in the Rock Pop music video genre so we may try to include this in our video as much as possible.

In conclusion i feel this was an excellent video to analyse as the song is very similar to the one we are going to use. The shots used are very similar to ones we are hoping to use within our music video as well as focusing on the band which is what we hope to do. Shots such as close ups help focus on the Lead Singer whereas longer shots help show the whole band performing
