Just like the previous activity we listened to the following song and predicted the music video. This one was a lot more difficult to predict as it is very unique and had a very different idea to us as a class.
We got into groups and gathered ideas separately to what we thought it may include and then gave back our ideas to everyone else. The ideas in these small groups were incredibly different. One group said that they thought the video would be about a king in the setting of a castle in an older time period. They thought the story would consist of power and leadership. Another group thought it would be a performance video as a band.
The group I was part of came up with the idea of a mixture of tracking shots which followed one man throughout the video who had experienced a tough break up as this would illustrate the emotions and anger in the song. The pace was slow to start with then sped up so we thought the man may have begun walking and then started possibly running. The only thing we got right was the costume. We thought the singer/s would be scruffy looking and when we watched it, the men were bearded and were wearing dark/plain clothing.
We then worked out as a class that the video is different because it has a unique and original idea. This idea is that the video contains the four element; fire, earth, land and water. The music video shows these elements in a narrative of showing the band facing these elements for example the men laying on rocks being surrounded by fire and being splashed with water. This music video does this to create a different look so the audience are seeing something different so they have interest.
