The genre of this video is Rock where this video doesn't portray any conventions of a rock video. The video seem to be a narrative video but the narrative is confusing and doesn't really tells a story. I think that the video contradicts the lyrics of the song as there is no relationship between the video and the song.
Editing- the editing techniques aren't good. They used slow pace editing which doesn't synchronise with the tempo of the music which is fairly fast pace. The tempo and tension of the songs builds as it continues where the editing pace remains the same.There is no relationship between the lyrics and the visuals. The scenes with the piano didn't make no sense at all so it was totally unnecessary and should have been edited out.
Cinematography isn't used effectively as in music video they are usually used to represent the artist or band. There is limited use of beauty shots on the artist (close ups), they mostly use long shots which makes there artist less dominating. There is no variety of shots which would suit the lyric and tempo of the song, there isn't much camera movement mainly still shots.
Mise en Scene- The location that is chosen was a good decision however it wasn't used effectively. From what I denote it shows they didn't use the location to the best of their ability. it seems that they have only filmed for a day or two as we can denote the same scene more than once. The use of the piano didn't work as i see no point as to why its there and it doesn't do with the instruments you hear in the song where as they tried to use it to build the tempo which didn't work. The performance scene was just dull and boring there seem to be no passion or emotion.
I would award this with a level 1
