Performance analysis of musc video (Born of Osiris 'Recreate')



This video by the band 'Born of Osiris', for the track 'Recreate', is shot entirely from a live show and contains no narrative element, this is a less common, yet interesting way of going about shooting a music video. As can be seen from the video, the primary advantage of simply using solely this live footage to is the fact that the bands live performance can be cut together and edited in such a way that it makes them look highly impressive and can act as an adertisement for the bands live shows.

The footage is cut together with a very fast pace of editing, switching between a vast number of interesting and well possitioned yet shakey shots which portray the band in an almost heroic light in order to convey the frantic excitement that they create from the actuall live situation.

Shots from above of the crowd help the band to present itself as a band who care about how thier performances are recieved and show that the crowd is just as muchg a part of thier work as thier music itself.
