Mise en scene
The video is shot in an abandoned house with graffiti walls and dirty surroundings. This creates a feel of isolation relating to the song. Guitars, drums, amps and mics are all visible in shots, showing the band playing music. The band members are wearing big coats and warm clothing which relates to the songs title “Russian Winter”.
Camera
Close ups on faces and instruments to show detail when singing and playing. Lips are synchronized with music track, but drums and guitars are only occasionally at build ups in the track. Camera continually pans around people and the building to show surrounding area and what’s been placed there to enhance the videos relation to the track. Towards the end of the video, a camera is left stationary and different members of the band are flicked between, showing what they’re doing.
Editing
The goes strait into the music track without any acted out into at the beginning. Editing tends to mach the speed of the music track. When the track is slow, the shots are longer. When the chorus and fast sections enter in the music, the shots shorten and flick between cameras very quickly. In some parts of the video, image overlay is used to fill the screen with more, creating yet more of an isolated feel. The ending of the music track is very fast paced. So in order for the video to keep up, two or three shots a second, lasting only a split second are used in time with the beat of the track.
