Klaxons - Golden Skans
Indie / Rock Genre
Overall there were 51 shots which in comparison with some other videos is not such a huge number
The first shot was of the night sky with five sentences flashing up in front of it, it lasts for a huge 38 seconds, making it the longest shot of the whole video by a long way. The shot finishes with an explosion and when the fire clears the band members are seen for the first time standing half naked in pouring rain.
There are then numerous slow motion shots of the band members splashing the water and interspersed with these are shots of the lead singer head singing, there is no foreground movement in these performance shots but the backgrounds show another band member breaking a glass egg
This then cuts to shots of the band members being wrapped in ribbons by invisible forces, each member has his own colour ribbon
The chorus of the song then kicks in and the ribbon covered band members are shown floating around the screen throwing glitter into the air
The next surreal happening comes with the introduction of several floating shapes which the band members throw around
This then cuts to a number of shots showing all three band members smashing a cylinder of light with a pole in a way which makes the band members look like cavemen, the glass lights shatter and this is shown in slow motion from various directions.
After the destruction of the lights is complete the camera pulls out from the band and the background changes colour from black to white. The three band members drop to their knees facing away from the camera and the video fades out.

Elliot - some interesting observations, however you need to summarise your findings - what have you learnt from this analysis? What could help inform your own production?
