Hardcore Music Video Analysis 3

Citizens music video for the song ‘The Summer’ is a music of a performance filled video and a lyric based video.
The video starts with the opening lyrics of the song. The lyrics being shown on the screen continues throughout the video at specific times, and at important times such as chorus lines. I think this is affective because they incorporate some animations in to the video as well as the lyrics. They’re very artistic, creative and abstract. I think this method works well because it is taking something that is very regular in hardcore videos and making it more unique.






There is a lot of performance in the video. It is mainly filmed with close ups to give the viewers a very up close and personal experience with the band. There are also very few full band shots included. However all members of the band are shown equally suggestion equality




The rest of the shots were mid shots, giving the audience a main look at the band’s instruments. This may because the director wanted to show the audience how talented the band are. The mid shots are also filmed behind pieces of furniture and next to walls, suggesting that there is some mystery behind the filming and its almost like someone is overlooking it.
