You Me At Six - Bite My Tongue Analysis

This was a band I found whilst researching which has a similar vibe to that of y artist. It is - unfortunately - more  rock based than mine but it is still a close match.
The first thing worth mentioning is the story which is being portrayed, influenced by the props, location and aesthetic.
The story appears to be about a mad scientist who has created the band and is controlling them like puppets and in turn creating the music they are making. The musicians are flailing around held by bonds which the scientist controls. The scientist appears to be the lead singer of the band as well, did he want a band to play with. He gets overtaken by power and someone comes and stops.
The way the band is introduced is rather clever, it starts off with the protagonist or lead singer lip syncing with a few shots of his experiment hinting at the eerie yet cool vibe accompanied with different editing after effects such as shaking the shots, focus change and blur. When the first chorus is sang the band comes to life restrained by their restraints they comply and play the song,"You keep me on the edge of my seat" they have no choice they are stuck there. "I cant take the ones who made me" he is going mad with power and the band are annoyed with their creator. When another character comes along and defeats the scientist he puts him in the restrains where he will be controlled and die at the end. Killed by his own creation.

"Bite My Tongue"
(feat. Oli Sykes of Bring Me The Horizon)

I hate to break it to you but
You're just a lonely star
I try to bring you down but
A level isn't good enough
You always do as you please
So I'm going to follow suit
And take a seat
And watch you fall apart
'Cause in the end
What are you without me?
I slow this down 'cause I know that you can't keep up
Oh maybe I, maybe I was wrong from the start
I might be proud, but at least I'm proud of something
You've taken pride in becoming nothing

You keep me on the edge of my seat
I bite my tongue so you don't hear me
I wanna hate every part of you with me
I can't hate the ones who made me

You keep me on the edge of my seat
I bite my tongue so you don't hear me
I wanna hate every part of you with me
I can't hate the ones who made me

I'm married to the music
For better or for worse
You say that I'm privileged but
My gift is my curse
I can't recall the last time
Someone asked me how I was
Last I checked I was a fucking wreck
I called for help and no one showed up
I sit in the dirt

You keep me on the edge of my seat
I bite my tongue so you don't hear me
I wanna hate every part of you with me
I can't hate the ones who made me

You keep me on the edge of my seat
I bite my tongue so you don't hear me
I wanna hate every part of you with me
I can't hate the ones who made me

[Oli Sykes]
Just forget what you've learned
Just forget what you've heard
The truth just confirmed
I can't bare the sight of you anymore.
You've become what I hate
Sold yourself for a bit of fame
Now that the wolves have closed the door
You wanna drag me down some more
Fuck you
Fuck you

You keep me on the edge of my seat
I bite my tongue so you don't hear me
I wanna hate every part of you with me
I can't hate the ones who made me

You keep me on the edge of my seat
I bite my tongue so you don't hear me
I wanna hate every part of you with me
I can't hate the ones who made me

Here I have highlighted some key shots from the video which I will comment on:

This is the first shot of video, a close up of the lead singer and protagonist in this video. Already starting with brand Identity he is also lip-syncing to show his relevance and importance.

 This shot signifies the start of his experiment, the doctor observing his creation whilst also being an establishing shot of the location the whole video takes place in.

This Medium shot is used throughout the video and is used on all the members of the band as they are playing and waking up but especially when for example they have small identifiable riffs over the main tune, and these shots are also edited in time to the drum beat.

Here is the introduction of a new character (Oli Sykes), possibly someone that could save the band from its fate foreshadowing his event in the future we are slowly shown him as the video progresses this is the first reveal shot of him, he seems scruffy and "untamed". The shots of him walking towards the protagonist are edited to slow motion which gives a nice contrast to the otherwise fast paced editing, its also worth noting that he is incredibly calm as he approaches.

A Close p again of the protagonist this is quickly spliced throughout the mid section of the song as it symbolises his going crazy with his experiment.

An over the shoulder shot of Oli approaching the main from behind, increasing tension and ending with him throwing the scientist down and taking over his madness and power.

Oli brings a more heavy rock feeling to the whole video, dressed the part with scruffy clothes , tattoos and piercings. You instantly relate to the genre of the song.

The closing shots are of our scientist who has been put into his experiment and is being controlled by a bigger evil; Oli. The maker has met his match and is trapped in his invention when he fails to escape he appears to die at the end.
