Analysis of "People Help The People" by Cherry Ghost

What I expected to see after watching and listening to the lyrics of the song:

- Dark colours or black and white

- Filmed in run down streets

- Close ups

- A storyline of a main character

- Depressed atmosphere



In this video, my attempts of expecting what's going to happen was better than before because I believe I got expectations right than before such (1) dark colours or black and white. The whole video was in black and white and the reason expected to be in black and white is because when listening to the lyrics, the song was not up beat and was really quite depressing as the tempo was not fast pace. My next expectation which was correct was the (2) filming in run down streets part. In the video they weren't really run down like I expected but they were dirty and gritty. (3) Close ups was used a lot in this video along with panning shots from left to right. I can see why it was used as it brings the people in the video more engaged with the audience to create a bit of tension. My last point was the last one which was (5) depressed atmosphere. As previously stated about the tempo of the song I had good feeling the atmosphere in the video was going to be quite down and depressing because it will link better with the lyrics of the song and will make the video better as it goes well together.
