This music is distinctive because it exhibit the genre that the music in which is being performed and it advertise the band well. One way in which the music shows of the genre is by the use of quick cuts, this shows the energy in which the band has when performing their music and this falls in to the genre of the music which is grunge rock. Also there are many close of the band member and especially the lead singer and the female base guitarist. This acts as advertising for the band a it is showing off the band, getting there target audience use to them, also by showing the female guitarist because it is not usual for this sort of band to have a female member as the genre doesn't appeal to a female audience. Also they have many shot of the female band member showing off her feminine side like close up of her shoe and a clip of her tying up her hair and by doing this it shows that she (Paz Lenchantin) is an important member to the band.
On the footage there are engravings, which is a common in the genre grunge rock, which is a dirt type of rock and this engraving supports this. This links to the genre of the music and the energy that the band has because of the quick cuts they it make the footage standout as it comes up bright on the dark background. These engravings link to the genre because of the fact that it is dark and this emphasis that by the disturbances on the video and the out of focus shots that occur. Also the video is shot in a empty film studio with dark smoky light to help appeal to appeal to fans of the band and other people in which like this genre of music. Another thing that is prominent in this is the use of dark colour palette through out the video, this help emphasis the dirty type of rock as this make the mise en scene look dirty and unpleasant.
The mise en scene of the this video help to advertise the band and linking them to genre. One of the ways this is done by showing off the band member and there feature like having lots of closeup of there faces epically the lead singer how has long hair this is done because it show that he has chilled and down to earth but also it could he has energy when it come to music because this hair cut suits this genre. But the lead guitarist has the complete opposite hair cut because he is bold this gives the feeling of energy and darkness which suit the 'rock and role' and 'mental' genre. Also linking back to previous paragraph there are many close ups to the female bass guitarist by the use of shot of her shoes and her tying up her hair to show off her femininity but also it by the her being part of this band is different because it is a very male dominated genre. Also there are many ECU these create a scene of mystery about the band, this fits in to the genre because of the fact that this is not a mainstream genre to there for they seem mysterious to a person who listens to more mainstream music.
Another thing that is prominent in this song is that the director uses the rule of thirds when the band members are on the screen like in the opening 6 seconds where the bold guitarists nose is on the third and also alone that third spilt the side of his face which is lit up by fill light and the other side which is covered by shadow. This suit the genre by the light side of his face showing energy and the darks side show evil and hardness of the music and the band. Also at 42 second there is a triangle shot of the band with the two band member playing the guitar on the left and right thirds but they are out of focus and the lead sing is in the centre of the shot in focus this shows that he has power over those band members in that shot. There are also many quick cuts, this show off the bands energy and this will show fan that they will be like this on stage meaning that fan will see that they know the genre of music and flow them on tour and download their music.
