Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks

This video is mainly under the category of disjuncture, as the majority of the clips show the band at their own gig performing to an audience; and any other clips within the video also feature the band themselves with only occasional extras.

This clip from 0:00 to 0:07 shows the beginning of the video, when the start of the video is catchy it obviously encourages the viewer to continue watching; in this case the editor has chosen a clip that is repeated nearer the end of the video. The edit of this short clip shows an old fashioned effect as if it's a separate clip from the rest of the video. I like how when the person hits the water the music starts, also the end of the first clip fades into the next one of them at their gig which is also effective as it's a more continuous style of cut.

This clip shows the band at their gig when the vocalist starts singing, this proves the disjuncture style of video as the video has nothing to do with the lyrics of the song, instead it shows the lead singer with his microphone on stage along with other band members and some of the instruments.

In the second clip there are some effects that are out of focus, this simple editing technique makes the short clips look more professionally filmed.

These clips show random videos of them being out and about, they are in various locations throughout the video such as: on stage; in a carpark; recording studio; beach; alley way; rooftop; car. The second clip is during an instrumental and shows them at the beach, I like this style of video where it has no relation to the lyrics, but as long as the pace of the editing matches the style and tempo of the song it fits together well.

This short section I have chosen shows some of the extras featured in the video, they are mainly used at the band's gig to represent the audience. The lighting of this short scene replicates what it's like to be at a gig, which provides the atmosphere as well as the visual aspect.

At the very end of the video the last remaining 20 seconds or so show the band performing on stage again, but in a slow-motion edit; this is an effective way to hint that the video/song is coming to an end as the pace slows down and comes to a finish.
