Jimmy Eat World - The Middle

•  This style of music video is narrative base, with a story sunning through the video. 
• The narrative is shot at a mixture of ELS, LS and MS just like a move would be filmed. 
• This style of music video is much more typical of American bands. 
• The first time we are introduced to any of the band is 0:22 seconds into the video, by this point the setting and main characters of the narrative have already  been presented to the audience. 
• The first shot we are shown similar to other music videos is the drummer, this is usually as the drum is the starting instrument to the song. 
• Also similar to other music videos I have watched this shot is dark as if it is only a silhouette. 
• In keeping with the narrative of the music video the background behind the band is still the same surrounding that is in the narrative at the museum. 
• The band members are shot with their instruments at a fast pace, keeping in time with the pace of the guitar which is introduced to the music at this part of the song; this is a similar feature I have found in a lot of the music videos I have watched that the music gains pace and in turn so does the speed of the editing. 
• The shots inter-cut between the narrative which is generally shot at LS and MS after the introduction to the band who is mainly shot as MS. 
• The lead singer is the only member of the band who is shot in lighting so that he does not appear simply as a black silhouette. 
• at 00:47 the lead singer is shot as a MS, the camera is made to sort focus and therefore focus on what is in the background rather than the foreground, by doing this it is showing the audience that the background is still linked to the narrative that they are being shown ever 00:05 seconds. 
• The narrative takes up the main part of the video with only a few second intervals for the band. 
• As it gets to the first chorus the band are shot from a long shot, this time showing all of the members equally for the first time, this introduces the band properly to the audience. 
• From this point the editing is faster and the narrative now gets slightly less time than the band which is shot from different angles each time the editing is back to them, by doing this it is keeping up with the pace of the music which the narrative on its own wouldn't do.
