Kings of Leon - Use Somebody

The music video for the Kings of Leon, Use somebody is a typical conventional rock video which contains many camera shots and angles in my music video. This below will explain a range of different shots which i may use in my video.


The close up of the bands lead singer lip syncing is a dominant shot in the video and is used with a green filter which keeps the shot basic but also displays the emotion of the singer.This shot juxtaposes with previous shots in the video which show the chaotic city at night as it makes the video more serious as well as creating a star attraction. I will be using this shot in my music video however unlike this video it will not be one of the dominant shots used.


The point of view shot shows the motorway which presents the typical chaotic atmosphere evident in the majority of rock music videos.This is due to the bright lights used as well as the scene being sped up which again makes the scene seem more chaotic and is used to reflect their lifestyle. It is unlikely that i will use a shot like this as it would be very difficult to capture this type of shot. Also because this video is traditional rock whereas my video will be combining rock with indie this shot could be unsuitable to the video.


The use of the long shot shows the band in concert but also lets you see the audience which is also a typical feature in rock music videos when combined with the closeups of the band in concert. The frantic and chaotic scenes again  reflect the bands lifestyle as well as the upbeat scenes reflecting the nature of not only the band but the song and the fans. This can be a very effective shot in music videos which i am going to attempt to include in my video, however,  this will probably be more closeups of the band rather than shots of an audience.
