Bring Me The Horizon - The Sadness Will Never End
Cinematography
Cinematography in this song in particular is random, they use various shots but none in order, I think is to create a dramatic effect to the video and this in turn mimics portrays the lyrics in a visual way.
The cinematography in this video is also very creative because in certain shots you can't see much. So I think the video makers done this to generate feelings and evoke emotion from the viewer watching the video since it is about 'Sadness'.
Mise En Scene
In this video it is apparent that they have put some thought in to the Mise En Scene. I say this because they have used a cut away throughout the video of a small, lonely, sad boy which connotates with the rest of the video.
The band are also in a very interesting setting of the woods which also adds to the small boy which makes him adds to the idea of an lonely boy which makes the idea pf him being in the video more effective.
There is the typical shot of the band in the woods as well, this is something that is common in most rock music videos. They put them in there so the fans an audience that are watching the video have the impression that the people in sots with all the drums and guitars are actually playing that song in the woods at the moment.
Editing
The editing of this video is very typical of rock music videos. This is because even though they ere in quiet a well light area who ever edited the video put a colour over some of the shots to again give thee traditional; dark feel to the video.
Sound
The Sound of this songs is typical of the genre. I say this because it holds all the ingredients that it needs in order for it to be a acceptable in the rock genre. It does this through the rebellious, loud and unique lyrics that most rocks songs have, and also the the backing instrumental that the band made themselves with the Electric guitars, drums ECT.
Performance
The peformance of the people in this video is typical of the people in rock music videos. This is done through the band playing their instruments in a what seems like an un humanised place.
Another way they have done this is through the actor they have hired to give the video a crazy edge to it, and it also helps that he connotates and compliments the concept of the song extremely well.
Video 2
Bring Me The Horizon - Pray For Plagues
Cinematography
This is a video done by the same group as before, However the cinematography in this video is much different to the last. It differs in various ways such as in this video there are a lot of Mid shots, Close ups. I think this was done to suit the type of video it is because the is a lot of animations in it Close ups and mid shots are needed so the audience can get the full feel of the animations in the video itself, and also to add a jumpy, dark, scary feel to the video also.
Mise En Scene
The mise en scene in this video is extremely unique due to the graphics and animation that have been used in the video. The graphics and animations have emphasized certain parts giving the performance and lyrics more meaning and purpose.
That have also incorporated one of the artist playing instruments this is common in a lot of rock music video. They do this in all rock music video and this is one of the main conventions of a music video in this genre. There is also the dark lighting in this video that is also another main convention of a rock music video.

Editing
The editing in this video is common of most music videos of all genres with the fast pace cutting throughout the video, as a way of stopping viewer fatigue.
They have also added a dark lighting to some of the shots as well to create the isolated look to some of the shots and make it seem like there is just one person fully surrounded by darkness.

Sound
The sound of this video is extremely typical of a music video, I say this because in the rock genre most artist do not sing their lyrics but they tend to scream as it has been a part of the rock culture for years and also as a way of expressing themselves.
The sound in this video however the sound is very 'Hard CORE' rock this is due to the high volume of the instruments and the pace they are being played at.

Performance
The performance of the artist in this song is vitally important because of the type of music video it is the arists needed to do everything according to plan in order for the animations to work properly.
The performance of the artist also need to mimic the energy and meaning the the lyrics they were saying had as well and they did very well when it came down to this.

Kings Of Leon - Sex On Fire
Cinematography
In this video they have the to typical dark lighting throughout the video. In many rock video they use dark lighting and this is because it appeals to the people that listen to this type of music, so they are thinking about their audience by doing this.
They also use a variety of shots throughout the video and they have done this so that they can keep the video new and interesting, in order to reduce viewer fatigue. However they have used mainly close ups for the beginning of the first verse, and they were able to do that because the shots that were used were all interesting so that is also reducing viewer fatigue.
They have also done something that is common in rock video which is that they have taken random shots of a chicken. some people may not think that has anything to do with the song or video but it may have a deeper meaning that is apparent at first.

Mise En Scene
In this video there is a lot of acting throughout the video. This is something that a lot of music video have this is because acting is an extremly good way of entertaining people and reducing viewer fatigue.
Also there are a lot of random cut aways of random things like paper blowing, this may have been to mix up the shots a bit or maybe it has a meaningful message behind it.
There are also the conventional shots of the instruments in the video among all the other shots that are being used as well. This is also another one of the main conventions of a music video.

Editing
The editing in this video is typical of most music video it has quiet fast pace, in order to try and reduce viewer fatigue. The fast pace editing has also allowed the acting in the video to fit in and match what is going on i the song.
In this video also the dark lighting has been used as well and this is common is most 'Rock' genre music videos, and this is because people who generally listen to these types of video's like dark, gory unusual things.

Sound
The sound of this song is much less 'Hard Core' than certain types of rock song. This songs in particular could qualify for another genre for various reasons. One being the instrumental although it is rock could be used an accepted in genres like 'RnB' or 'hip hop' because of the song suttle sound to it. The other reason is that the vocalist is singing the lyrics in stead of shouting them like some other rock songs, he sings which is not always common in rock songs but the husky sound to his voice fits in perfectly.
Performance
The performance of the artists in this song is crucial for various. One of the reasons being that they have to entertain people who would be watching the video in their performance shots where they have instruments or lip synching.
The other reason is that the artist that made the song are actually acting in it also, so they are performing in several ways.

Kasabian - Days Are Forgotten
Cinematography
In this video they have also used a kind of animation to add to the video. They may have done this as one way of reducing viewer fatigue, however they have also made quiet plain shots much more interesting to look at.
They have also use the animation in the video to represent the lyrics and instrumental in the song, this is a very interesting thing to do because the animation have been used throughout the video and have turned out to be very affective.

Mise En Scene
The Mise En Scene in this video is again typical of most music video's I say this because even though the songs itself isn't that dark lyrically, the video itself has again a dark black and white look to it in order to match the animation.
The contrast of black and white throughout the video helps the animation used stand out and have a more impressionable, dominant effect in the video. This is because most of our attention is set on the animation because it was used cleverly and it has been used to replace some of the instruments as a more entertaining and different way of showing the instruments in the video.

Editing
This video was probably a very difficult video to edit since they had to incorporate the animations into the video. Furthermore the animations were used sometimes in the video to replace the actual artists.
There were also the convention fast pace cutting through shots as certain points in the video, however were the animations were there was just animations in the shots they were of a longer length. They were able to do this because it is unusual to have animations in the video so the length of the shots didn't really matter.

Sound
The sound of this song is very commercial, I say this because like some other rock songs this song could have qualified for other genres. I say this because it has elements of other genre in it like certain parts where he seems as though he is rapping.
However the song is very 'Rock' still and this is obvious through the lyrics of the song through the hook. It is very unique and usual something that people find in rock music video quiet a lot. Also because of the backing instrumental is primarily 'Rock' this is shown through the drums and guitars that make up the beat.

Performance
The performance of the and in this shot need to be on perfect because the video mainly revolves around them so they need to act as though they are performing live to make sure it is entertaining enough for anyone who watches the video.
The performance of the band it also made to look better because of the animation that is used throughout the video to add a new effect and feel to the video.

Cinematography
This video has also used the typical a variety of shots throughout the video, and again it has the typical dark lighting in order to appeal to the listeners and viewers of the song of the video.
This video in particular has also used the random shots of things that someone may not consider to be a relevant of the video, however there are many deeper meaning throughout this video, this is seen through the story of the video.

Mise En Scene
Mise En Scene in this video is very unique, this is due to the amount of acting and cut aways that take place through out the video. There are various different random shots that are being used and many of them have meanings they just aren't apparent what they are.
There is also the dark feel throughout the video again this is something that we see commonly in most rock music video's of this genre, although I think in this video i think the darkness is used to add to the drama throughout out the video.

Editing
The editing in this song isn't always fast like most other music video as a whole. The pace of cutting between shots is slow and this is due to the acting that is done throughout the video, also there is not much lip synching in the video because of the acting as well.
However there are certain point of the video that do have lip synching in them but that is only small parts of the video.

Sound
The sound of this video is again a commercial sound. I say this because the band have got an artist named 'Kanye West' who mainly does rap music to bring another feel to the song, in addition to this he was used so his fan base would listen to song and give it more publicity that it normally wouldn't have gotten. So this song like other rock songs may be able to qualify to be placed in other genres.
However the sound of the song is extremely 'Rock' in certain aspects like the singing. In this video the lyrics are sung and shouted throughout the video which gives it the 'Rock' feel to the song. However the instrumental used isn't always the traditional sound because there are not always drums or guitars playing in the song.

Performance
The performance of the artists in this video is top quality this is due to the fact that in the video they are doing more acting than they are performing to song in a more traditional way, with the instruments in shot ECT.
I think that the acting in this video is another way of reducing viewer fatigue, and a good way of keeping fans interested and excited for what the bands videos can bring to table.
