Rock Genre 2 - Young Guns - Bones.

The opening of the music video starts with an array of shot's showing merely snippets of the main subject of the video, perhaps the lead singer of the band, and each shot shots low key lighting and almost silhouettes of the body parts, making the video look dark, and almost ominous. Using the lighting from above, makes the figure look daunting and dark, which is perhaps a convention of this genre, very dark, dusky looking atmosphere.
Also these snippets show the type of costume present in this rock genre of music, showing snippets of ripped jeans, dark coloured clothing, lots of black. As well as showing a snippet of the costume, it also show snippets of the location, as being dirty, rundown, almost an ominous atmosphere, relating well to the style of music playing along side these string of shots.


 The duration of the video follows a continuant style, as it then follows with clear shots of the location of the video, showing a very empty,  black looking room, again using high key lighting to create silhouettes of all of the members of the band, making them look dark and prominent from the background. Clear establishing shots throughout showing the relationship between the characters, the fact that they are a band, bring attention to the instruments.


There are two locations present in this video, it shows a run down urban looking location, with a new female character introduced, again alike the other figures present, wearing very dark, black clothing, and again in silhouette due to the natural lighting used to again shield the identity of the figure, to create curiosity and mystery about the video.

Shielding of identity in both locations, sheer detail on the lighting used throughout the video.
