The first shot you see is pretty unconventional for a music video, this pulls in the attention of the audience as they want to see what it's about because they don't get any clue from the establishing shot. I really like the editing of this video which is very dark and the bright light behind the singer is the only real light, this really draws attention to the members of the band. The way it cuts quickly to another shot makes it interesting to watch. Another thing I really like is how words come up such as "this is not what you think" and you have to really pay attention to read them quick enough. It makes them seem like there's things we don't know that we need to find out which fits with the lyrics of the song "don't bother trying to explain angel, I know exactly what goes on." The live performance that's typical for most music video also appears in this video but in a different way. It flashes up within the narrative part of the music video, which makes it more interesting than the usual smoothly edited cuts of the band performing. The attitude of the lead singer is obvious by the way he acts in front of the camera and the way he's styled which are both something that will appeal to fans of this genre of music. The harsh editing really works with the strong beat of the song and helps emphasise the drum beat. There's a lot of close-ups in this video because with the lighting conditions it's needed for you to be able to tell what's going on. It also gives a more personal view of the band which is something very popular for music videos, because the artist wants to create more of a connection with their fans. This doesn't have a strong narrative element but it does have something else going on other than the live performance of the band. The quick cut editing and the lighting conditions make it hard to make out the story that is going on in the video, which again links with the lyrics of the song.
