This shows the lead singer in the front and the lead guitarist in the background who is playing in time with the song, whereas the singer is tapping his chest and knees to the beat as though they are drums.

This shows all band members in a recording studio, this camera shot is also handheld to create the effect that you are in the studio too. The band wave and smile at the camera.

This shows the band playing to an empty arena, this is probably in rehearsals from one of their shows.

The camera walks around the stage giving close ups of each band member. This is while the stage lights follow the tempo and the beat of the song.

The whole of this video is in black and white, it shows various band members in control of the camera meaning most scenes are handheld recorded, this gives an affect that the band is giving us a tour of their day to day life, it also shows us them in the studio and performing.
