Music Video:
Narrative/Performance
The start of the video starts off with the news that the band have split up and goes into the background of the last ever show they are doing together this is a very effective way to do a music video as it has been done by many before, for example Paradise City by Gunz N' Roses did a similar thing, but what makes this video more unique is that it has a sort of narrative where by from my preferred reading i have picked up on that it is a type of journey through their whole career as musicians the narrative is continued through the live performances
Performance Style

The style which the artists have done is a performance based one which involves various different tours that the band have done which involves crowd and fans which are enjoying the concerts with various different editing techniques to enable the video to achieve more continuity as it goes on, I feel that this is a very effective way to draw audience and viewers to watch the music video due to it being so active and moving as it causes the viewers to want to re watch the video.
Notable Shots and Framing

Throughout the whole video there are many notable shots but the main one which strikes me as a viewer the most is the one of which is the three band members stood by the decks with their hands in the air to the crowd as it is shown a few times during the whole video. And the framing of this is that they are centre of the frame which shows their importance throughout the shot and for the duration of the music video. So this is the most notable shot for me.
Audience in the Video

For me the audience play a huge and key part in this music video as they make up about half of the footage used for the video. The audience used for it though are used well due to all of the expressions and emotions used are all positive and show the bands concerts and live performances in a good light which can only credit the band. The audience audio also creates an atmosphere to how huge they were and to wat sort of a scale the band were performing to, i feel that this has highly benefited this video by putting so much of the audience into it
Elements to link with my Idea
I think that the way the band have included the audience into the music video is a very good and useful tool so i feel that this would also benefit my music video, also adding a little narrative to the video will help it too and this would also be something that i will be adding into my music video
