Airbourne – 'Runnin’ Wild' Music Video

Airbourne - Runnin' Wild on MUZU.

Mise en scene

At the beginning of the video, there is an introduction before the music track begins. The screen shows a news screen with a voice over and bird’s eye view of a truck. The headlines read information about the band Airbourne and how they have high jacked a truck and are “runnin’ wild”. Obviously this relates to the song.
When the music track begins, we see views of the band in the back of the truck surrounded by guitar amps/drums/mics. These sorts of amps etc are typical of a hard rock band.
The camera constantly flicks to the police chasing the truck, showing that they are breaking the law. This is again typical of a rock and roll stars lifestyle.

Camera

The cameras main focal point is on the band playing in the back of the truck. Most of the shots are quite close to the members playing of singing showing that what they are doing is synchronized with the music track.
There are also frequent cutaways showing the police chasing the truck and a helicopters bird’s eye view. These show us different points of view to keep an element of change in the video and to keep us more informed on what is going on.

Editing

The music track starts at 15 seconds in, after a short introduction which just displays a news screen.
Editing is generally fast paced, and cuts to different shots quickly and frequently showing only short clips of band members each time. This allows us to see a broader view of what is happening.
