Like many other videos that focus mainly on performance, Hands Like Houses video for 'Introduced Species' has a longer duration of screen time on the lead singer. When the rest of the band are shown there is fast cuts, this varies on the instrument being shown. The drums are featured for the shortest amount of time due to the fact that they are the fastest paced and had the shots been held any longer, it would have been too long and interest would slowly be lost.
Videos of the rock genre feature the use of lights as does this video. The introduction of the lights and the fast paced split screen help with forming more interest in the video as it is no longer just as stationary shot with a bland background and not much going on. Again like many other videos of the rock genre and videos in general, this video features moving camera work which adds to the show casing of the instruments.
The message behind the song itself as said by the bands vocalist Trenton Woodly, "This song is about breaking out of the presupposed patterns of life that are handed to our generation" and he is "excited that people are beginning to think about and question our role as subjects to money, advertising, government, religion—not necessarily questioning those things themselves but their influence over our individual lives." The meaning behind the song is portrayed throughout the video as it shows the audience how as a generation we are able to connect with one another and use "that to discuss new ideas".
"it's about coming into a completely different existence, to actually become our ideas, our motivations, our happiness, our self worth so that we are unable to be contained"
