Music Video Analysis- The Maccabees

This music video, is the new single by The Maccabees featuring Roots Manuva. I chose this video because some of its characteristics and styles are similar to our music video. Some of the camera angles, framing are really clever. The simplicity of the people and the static of their main characters is something we are reiterating in our music video that our cut up by random images, such as the coin spinning in this video. Around 2 minutes into the video there is a beautiful close up of the boys chest, with a focus pull onto the sweat, this shot is really powerful and gives us a lot of inspiration for our video. The remainder of the video after this section is really strong and effective too. The editing is sublime in this section and we want to be able to mirror this in ours. The editing from 2.14 to 2.19 and then again 2.32 to 2.39 is really effective and this is the main part of the video that we can link to.
