Johnny Sniper Enter Shikari

This is a shot from the video ' Jhonny Sniper' by Enter Shikari. A band whom of which have made it by them selves with out the help of a music label.

This video starts off with a low angle shot of the four members jumping of there old red tour bus. This actually was used as a symbol of how the band has grown and made it on there own. They have moved onto bigger and better things.

The video begins in slow motion then gradually progresses and becomes fast paced with green flashy electronic lightening. This represents Enter Shikari just has there music is, which is highly energetic. There are many crash zooms through out the video, plugging into the different members of the band, whom are always moving about at a fast speed.

"Give It Away" is centered around the philosophy of selflessness and altruistic behavior. The song is titled after lyrical phrase "give it away", which is taken from an experience Kiedis had with his former girlfriend.

During the verses, Kiedis departs from the idea of unselfishness and sings about a variety of topics including various sexual themes including fertility and lust.

The video presents the band in a desert covered in silver paint, the desert possibly being a link to when Jesus spent fourty days and fourty nights in the desert. The video is constant all the way through, with a sereis of long and shot cuts, when the chorous kicks in there are a series of quick zoom in and outs when Kiedis sings the lines ' Give it away, give it away, give it away now' and this gives the video a rocky edge.

There are many links to what you see in the video to do with the theme of fertility and lust and you can see the low angle shot from underneath Kiedus. These simple repetitive shots are synchronous anwith the song itself. Making the video simple and eay to watch and digest. It also is representative of the rock genre as presented through what the band is wearing and of course there instruments d use of bass guitar.

Panic At The Discos ' I write sins not tradgedies.'

The whole of the video is filmed in a church and it presents a ceremony of marrigae. Which is actually a sham. The music video is placed onto levels, one in which the lighting and movement is very slow, and this is during the verse. When the chorus cuts in the editing is more pacy and all the circus freaks, in which you can see here, start moving about doing all sorts of various acts, the lighting is also
more bright at these points.

The video is also chronological within the events that take place, you have the verse in which everything is quiet and the camera work and music is slow.

The camera here in this shot, is shot from a high angle to enable you to see the movement of the charecters which is synchronous with the music the whole way through. The idea of the video itself is suggesting that love itself isnt real, its fake and riot like.
