This video is 'The Serpent' by the band 'Rise to Remain'. I decided to use this video due to the fact that it says alot about the bands star image. In terms of Mise en Scene, the video is very minimalistic, focussing on the bands live performance and ability as well as commitment as musicians through the vast majority of the focus being on the instruments themselves and the frontmans (Austin Dickinson) narritive performance, the rest of the video is made up of the band preparing thier live performance (e.g tuning instruments and checking out a venue before they play. This supports the star image for the band that they are about both thier musical passion and performance, with much emphasis placed on the frontman due to the fact that the band are very lyrically driven also.
Alongside the performance, the fast pace of editing combined with rapid focus pulls and very unsteady handheld camera shots (or perhaps camera shake put on in post-production) gives off the impression that the band are very high energy and intense, however the dynamics between the soft and hard parts of the track used in conjunction with the same principles for editing show that the band have a proffessional aproach to music with parts to please fans of many different musical tastes.
