Radiohead Steet Spirit

First we heard the first 30 seconds of this song without viewing the video and then had to feedback on what our expectations for the video would be, as a class we thought it would be:

-Dark- maybe raining or gloomy weather
-In a desert/forest or somewhere isolated
-Black and White
-Both narrative and performance- more narrative than performance but still kept to a minimal
-We decided the music was of an Indie rock genre
-Soft and slow cuts and transitions

We then watched the full-length video and found that many of our expectations were right, we decided the video was:

-weird
-slow paced
-Black and white which conveyed dark emotions
-It portrayed Goodwin's star image theory and prevalence- Tom York the lead singer was the main focus in close-ups, this makes him the recognisable character to fans and gives them something familiar to refer to.

The video includes the following things:
Transitions- fades and crossover shots of the lead singers face. The images amplify the lyrics 'fade out'. It also has a disorientating effect on the audience as they watch.
Order of narrative- there isn't a set order of narrative, it is very random with no structure. There is repeated scenes and props which jump from one to another.
Pace- it is very slow with slow transitions and long lingering shots. Some places it is even in slow motion.
Special Effects- the whole video is in black and white which makes the emotion of the video depressing and dull. During editing, some parts have been cut in slow motion, and the lead singers arm has been cut off. They have also used split screen so they could have the same person on the screen twice.
Framing-the lead singer is always infront and in focus, the rest of the band are in the background and not necessarily recognisable.
Camera angles- close-ups, extreme close ups, birds eye view. There is a limited variety of camera angles as they are often repeated.
Movement- throughout the whole video the camera is extremely still.
Mise En Scene- the band wear scruffy, dull clothes which give's us the impression that they are more about their music than their image. they have little facial expression and there are few props and gimmicks.
