As this was the Casino Royale track this video does contain clips and scenes from the film as well as classic Bond themes, I however will be reviewing the parts of this video that involves the scenes which are not from the film.
Starts with close up of mic - addresses the location and the fact he will be performing
Close ups of the singer and amp - again creates the performance aspect
Lips singing fading transitions - creates a personal aspect with the viewer
1 man on his own performing - again ^
He has a love interest - similar to the Bond Theme
Gets on a plane - persuit is global
Shots of drinks medium long shots of him performing pans - experience the perfomance
The majority of it is on a plane within the singers story - its about his journey
Car scenes shows a melancholy man - tired, bored, upset wants to find this woman
Lots of cuts (editing), on his face as he sings dubbed well
I chose this song because it has a likeness to to mind and sounds similar. I wanted to see what type of editing and shots were used. It was directed by Martin Campbell which I will look into more detail.
The video shows many genre characteristics, it has more of a story - as most rock songs do, unlike say metal or dance. It shows the story of a man searching for an important woman and going across the world to meet her. It also contains James Bond stereotypes.
