Paul & The Broken Bones - Half The City - A Take Away Show

Video Analysis

First sceneUnconventional instruments show that the group isn’t main stream and do their own things.

Well dressed show that they are serious, however it is also unconventional

Second SceneFirst show of more conventional instrument showing that they do follow some conventions

Don’t see the band members face clearly which goes against convention

The snar drum shows that they are more of a performance band and they are preforming to an audience

Third sceneThe people in the background tells us that the band and the singer are preforming to an audience

This medium shot shows only the singer and emphasise more of his importance. This shot goes with a convention that the singer is always the most important

The building in the background is an unusual place for a music video showing that it still is being its own self

Forth sceneMore instruments show were the music is coming from and shows that even though there is a more conventional instrument, there are less ones as well like a trombone

People in the background prove more that the band is performing .

Fifth SceneThe body position shows that he is performing to an audience (all be it a small one).

The people show that he is performing to people outside and what looks like a tourist, this also shows that this is indie because it is an unusual place to film.

The wide shot lets us see the performer and the audience in the same shot, this type of wide shot is uncommon as normally we only see the performer, this once again shows that they are indie.

Sixth scene The shot then changes back to a close up. This is more common of the music industry and shows that they do follow the same music conventions as bigger performers.

Seventh sceneThis bench can be seen as some kind of stage as he is preforming to his band and the audience. This preforming on a stage is more of the traditional music video style.

Eighth scene The final shot shows them revelling the audience that they have all the time. This just proves that the whole video is a performance piece.
