The main focus of the performance is on the lead singer. This is because he is deemed more important and the audience wish to see more of him rather than other members of the band. As it is only a performance video, camera movement is essential in keeping the audiences interest. The audience is brought in and back out of the action/performance through the use of close ups then mid shots to long shots and back in again. This allows the audience to get a feel of the band and enables them to see the instruments up close, adding to the aspiration that the audience may have of becoming like the band/being in a band. The tracking shots give a different view of the band and the 180 pan also gives the audience further access to the band as they are able to see a different angle then if it were just to be a stationary camera held at one angle throughout the video.
Lights are also used throughout the video in order to gauge interest. At the beginning of the video the lights flash with the beat of the song and then during the rest of the video the lights intensify with the music but for the most part they are just there to light the dark room.
