Shot Count

I have studied Bring Me The Horizon - The Sadness Will Never End 

Whilst watching the video I counted around 420 shots. The music video is very fast paced, so fast infact that there is a different shot every 1-2 second(s). The music features a fast hectic performance whilst also having a narrative around it. The video features the whole band and also Sam Carter, the lead singer from another popular band, The Architects. 

The lighting in the video is also very hectic and gives the audience the idea of a fast paced chase style situation. Along with the instruments being shown alot, the lead singer, Oli Sykes is often focused on alot too. The camera constantly zooms into him showing his emotions as he is performing the song. Lots of different shots are used, close ups, mid shots and long shots, these change every second due to the video being so fast paced. The editing is clever because it switches between the narrative story and the performance quite cleverly. The performance is shown everytime there is a breakdown or a heavy beat, the narrative is shown when the vocals are speaking about something that the boy in the story could be doing. For example if the lead singer spoke about a tree, then a tree would be on the screen.
