Mark Romanek - Faint by Linkin Park

In this video, directed by Mark Romanek, we straight away witness the way he loves to use lots of technical lighting. At the start of the video the lights are relatively low and then when the music starts up properly the lights flash up bright. The lights are constantly going up and down in time with the music. This must have been hard to achieve as each light would have to be set to a certain timer.

There is one of Goodwins 6 when we see a link between lyrics and visuals. We are watching them perform to an audience and are therefore behind them. The lyrics sing "don't turn your back on me". Which the band are currently doing to us.

There are interesting camera shots, that again, due to Mark Romanek's high production values, are still and steady (using a crane for high angle shots looking down on the stage and audience). They continue the sharp look of it being neat along with the pristine looking lights.

We eventually become part of the audience in the crowd and can then see there faces playing to us. It is now lighter as all the lights at the back are thought to be lighting them up. You can again see the detail Mark Romanek goes for when we can clearly see them with a setting behind them that reflects them as a band.

When the music stops, its almost trying to reflect the high energy it has left us and there audience watching with, as we can just see them still jumping round as silhouette's in the background.

Despite never being able to create a music video like this due to budget! We can still take elements from it an apply it to our own work. For example, as said before, we liked the high production element that Mark Romanek brings to his videos. One way he creates this in this music video that we too can do is via using a variety of different shot types and having them still and steady. This will mean planning, via storyboarding, many shots that we can use within our production. When we then come to creating them it will involve using a steady tripod and making sure our shots are well framed and structured to give off a high production value look.
