The Script - Talk You Down on MUZU.
- Medium close-ups of the front man singing and playing the keyboard; this is typical of the genre, as all the indie/rock music videos I have looked at have had medium close-ups of the frontman.
- 'make you stay' - Shows a girl leaving with two suitcases, creating a narrative around the song.
- 20% of the music video shows the narrative of the lyrics, while the other 80% is of the band performing on a roof-top.
- The girls actions mirror the lyrics, which builds more onto the narrative, and it also presents her as character.
- the show that the pace of the song is quite fast and the pace that the characters are moving, the streets of the city they are in go past really fast; this looks a lot like how the location around you looks when you drive past in a fast car. This also looks a bit like a blur, which could have been used to represent how the characters are feeling.
- Extreme long-shots and zooms are used to show the band performing on a roof-top. They're spread out over the roof-top, however, you are still able to see how they interact with each other. This shows that they are a group, but also that they are still individuals.
- Close-ups of each of the band members faces and them performing with their instruments are used. This to me shows the effort and energy that they put into their performances.
- The beats of the drums are used to aid the performance of the characters. It gives them the ability to show how they are feeling; allowing the audience to feel so emotion towards them.
- They editing is slick and everything slows; the shot roughing change between every 1-4 seconds which is also typical of the genre/music videos in general.
