Mona - Shooting The Moon



  • The start of the video is a low angle shot of the lead singer. The shot is a MS as his legs aren't shown, however we are shown the surrounding around him in a concert with the crowd. 
  • The shot then goes to the crowd and is a LS of the guitarist. The shot is out of focus and the lights from the stage make them guitarist seem like just a silhouette to the camera. 
  • We are then taken to a CU of the drummer. 
  • Already within the first seven seconds we are introduced to three members of the band all from different individual shots. 
  • The CU's continue of equipment and instruments before changing to a MS of the lead signer back on the stage, this time the focus of the camera is clear and the so is the footage of the lead singer. 
  • The cameras change in focus for this shot of the stage comes in time for the music of the some to begin, before this the editing of the video was slow and the footage the audience was shown was edited at quite a slow pace. 
  • Before the music starts the audience are shown from a range of MS's the other band members about to play their instruments, this is a similar technique which was used in the Arctic Monkeys video before the band began to play their music. 
  • Similarly to the Arctic Monkey's videos again the lighting is in time with the instruments for example when the music begins at the starts the lights flash and change in time. 
  • Throughout the video the same use of distance and angles are kept of the band. 
  • The editing is fast throughout the song and keeps up with the tempo of the song giving the same faster pace to the music video, similar to the last two videos I analysed.
