Little Comets - One Night in October, video analysis

This video is one of my favourite alternative genre music videos;
It particularly catches attention with the first few seconds, as the opening is fast paced and upbeat it makes a statement to the audience. The introduction lasts 18 seconds and within this there are several shots of the band members from varying angles, some long shot and some mid shots; the camera zooms into them at a sped up pace once also. I feel that this emphasises that they are the main role of the video, and shows that they are the band themselves and not just actors cast for the video. All the clips are sped up within the introduction, this means the cuts between them are fast to suit the pace of the song. I think if we were to make a video for a fast paced song, making the clips speed up could be an affective way of editing.
The clips of the lead singer standing against a blackboard are effective as the shots have been cut and edited to show the lyrics appearing behind him as he sings them. 0:37 - 0:39 includes 5 shots edited together of the whole band and the title of the song within the chorus, this is a simple edit yet looks so professional when the cuts are fast in a video.
This video shows illustration through the words being written on the blackboard behind the band, as well as the extras used in the video during 0:40 - 0:54. These extras are used as fans almost as they are dressed in no uniform, just casual everyday clothing and are crowding around the lead singer.
As this video is just set in a large empty space, similar to a warehouse, it could be possible to recreate a setting similar for our group music video; either that or a similar camera set up, of the band members swapping positions and most of it being filmed in one position and setting. 1:54 - 2:02 is an instrumental section, the lighting used in these shots appears to be coloured flashing spotlights; the only problem we may have with our video is finding the right lighting for the setting we choose.
From 2:13 - 2:15 the low angle camera is focused on the four band members, this camera angle suits the tempo of the song and is either handheld or on a wheeled tripod as it follows them around the area they move within; this makes them the focal point.
The video ends abruptly sound-wise, but the shots build up to the climax of the end of the song well, the lighting gets dimmer and there become less and less people in the shots as it finishes.
