Snow Patrol's song 'Chasing Cars' is an Indie song and there are two music videos: one for UK and one for the USA. Our team is studying the one for the USA.
The first shot is an over the shoulder shot of the lead vocalist. This makes it very difficult to see his face and clothing but we can see the high key scenery. The lead vocalist is looking outside the window which shows the audience that something is wrong as it's a very slow start.
The next shot is the lead vocalist laying on the floor as the he sings the lyrics 'If I just lay here' which shows the viewer that the lead vocalist is taking the lyrics seriously. This will emphasise the lyrics as the viewer will make the link between both the video and song. The dark colours are not low key though they are quite high key as the light shines off of them and the lead vocalist's clothes mix in with the floor so it looks like he belongs there. This happens quite often as the lead vocalist lays in a diner, the busy main street, at the top of an escalator, in a subway car, at the top of a hill overlooking a highway and at the end on a bed.
