The begging two shots show a mid shot of a black kitten heel and a white burlesque dancer glove, these teasers at the begging of the video are hiding the character from us. Chelsea Dagger is about a burlesque dancer called Chelsea, this makes the audience assume that this could be Chelsea. This is also an example of the phantasmagorical body, this is a theory first put forward by Carol Vernailis, this is when parts of the body are shown and this makes us piece together a body and this is then called the phantasmagorical body.
This mid close up is a mid shot of the drummer on sage when a spotlight, showing the drummer and the red background. With this shot the audience get the idea of sitting in the audience and watching the show. The red background and spotlight has been done to create a burlesque type shot.
As the guitar starts to come into the song, keeping with the mid close up, another spotlight is then added on, again this is reinforcing the idea of watching a show. This creates a good effect.
Unlike in the other videos, the colour is sepia, this however suits with the begging of the song, the slow pace and smooth begging to the song. This shot is also unusual, the mid shot of the score sheets blowing across the ground, also give the viewer an idea of how deserted the place they are in are.
This is the first shot we see of the lead singer of Kasabian, this close up show us the scraggy look that he has taken on. You can also see that this shot is using a refelction of the lead singer, this again is showing how deserted the place they are must be.
As the song begins to kick in, the shot coulours turn to black and white and it begins to look like CCTV footage, you can tell this from the angle and position. This shows the band robbing a bank, unlike the other videos I have annotated this one seems to be telling a story instead of having shots of the band playing. This means that this video may be unconventional to the others I have looked at.
The Kaiser Cheifs video to Ruby begins with a extreme long shot of the band in a deserted place, this is establishing the band to the audience. Most videos do this so that they are instantly recognisable.
Again a close up of the lead singer. The shot is often conventional to indie rock videos. The earthy colours are also often conventional to indie rock videos, as they are often greys, greens and balcks.
The mid shot of the drums, show the drummer playing them, this could mean that the drums are a big part of the song.
The shot of Oasis in the car gives a very cramped look to the shot, this could be used as an establishing shot, this can be done in many music videos to show the band, with the lead singer sitting at the front of the group, this could also be used to show importance within the group.
This close up shot is seen as the singing begins, this shot of Noel Gallagher is common in rock indie videos of a shot of the lead singer as the singing begins
Like in the chelsea dagger video a provocatively dressed woman wearing black clothes and against a red background, this could represent them being on a stage again. Like in the chelsea dagger this shot of the woman dancing is shown throughout the video.
A shot of the band on stage with one single spotlight is also like the chelsea dagger video, this shot shows that they are on stage and makes them stand out agains the dark background. They are dressed in black suits and are dressed smartly and appropriatly for the video.
As the chorus begins, this shot of the guitar is shown, the close up show the style of guitar they have and this kind of guitar may go with the style of music that the band are playing. This shot works well as you can see the spotlight shining on the guitar showing the prescise detail.
