This video is primarily narrative, it shows a average everyday guy play his heart out on the drums in really public location. He meets people along the way that confront him while he playing on the drums.
The video is in Grey scale meaning it use's black and white only. I'd like to include this in our video as i think it gives it a very rustic feeling, something that i would like to include and be a little more Indie. I very much like the contrasts of black and white because i think it shows good visual representation and it can help the audiences understand the music video more, the video starts in what we understand is morning and then moves onto the evening this shows time scale with the video.
Morning - showing a shot of the drummer.
Evening - Establishing shot at night time.
'A view from the afternoon' is set in an urban area, this is brilliant for the video as the concrete flats in the background work well with the grey scale colouring the language used in the music is very informal and relates with working class or youngsters in the north of England which is stereotyped in city's to be a what some people like to call 'concrete jungle' however our music video will be set on Seaford seafront for shots of the band so we wont have any musical instruments in urban areas.
It includes on main character throughout the video, this shows continuity however i personally prefer diversification across videos as it gives it more vibe and feeling it also shows more things going on therefore stimulates excitement, the song itself is upbeat so i would of liked to have seen more than just one theme.
The lyrics of the song talk about typical northern girls however the video shows one young guy playing the drums in flats, this is subtle story lining it'd like to include this in my narrative as well because it gives the video a sense of intelligence and it makes the audience search into the video therefore becoming passively interactive.
Dressing in the video is young and informal, the characters body language and hair cut is also informal, this will be the same in my music video. Dressing is important in Indie videos, because their ironic dress sense - as if they don't care about how they look is very iconic therefore it must be included in our video.
