Saint Motel Music Video AnalysisVideo 2: Saint Motel – Puzzle Pieces

Saint Motel – Puzzle PiecesSound – At the very start of the video we see the hands of the man playing the piano that matches the music that is also playing. This is the first, but not the last, we see this happen a few times as the band appears on stage. The only time we see the words of the song actually being spoken by someone is when the lead singer is in the bathroom and there is a reflection of him in the mirror we see him mouthing the words to the song. This is a typical convention to this song but not to the band, they usually have a lot of actual footage of the band or the person singing in there videos. Sound is something we need to focus on in out video. Camera Work – The camera work is all from the point of view ofthe man. This is something that we would like to do in ourvideo. The camera work is strong and almost has a hand held feel to it. the only time that we see the person who the camerais being is in this shot to the last witch is over half way throughthe song. Throughout the camera work is very fast and as though not a lot of thought has gone into it. The camera also moves with the head as it would in real life, although it doesn’t seem as really as it would.

Saint Motel – Puzzle PiecesMise-en Scene – In this video we do see the band playing and this is the main part of the video but the story line is integrated into this. The relationship between the man and the woman is integrated around the band practice in the hall, and then to the live performance at the end of the video it is almost as though there are two story lines running alongside each other. The man and the Woman and there relationship is the 1st story line and then the band and there journey towards there final show is the 2nd story line.This is a usual convention for this type of video and is something tat I think we are going to use in our own video. There are several different scenes in this video all with different set ups, lighting, camera work etc.

Editing – Most of the editing is match on action, witch is where the action is carried on with some sort of motion. There doesn't’t seem to be a lot of areas where it is noticeable where it has been edited as it has been shot as a continuous piece of footage, there are onlya few area that change from one scene to another and selected area in the shot where you can tell that it has been done, if it has then it is very slick and a smooth motion, almost unnoticeable to make the editing more smooth and the video a lot more smoother.
