Gallows- London is the Reason






Mise-En-Scene (costume, makeup, lighting, location)
Grey suits worn with white shirts and black ties, I think this might be to promote their latest album “Grey Britain”.
You are still able to see the lead singers tattoos on his neck, and head. This way you still realise they aren't quite who they appear to be.
Two men dressed in orange radioactive suits are placing body down but one is clearly wearing adidas trainers
Free runners wearing hoodies g
Location is in the streets of Londoniving them a thug like appearence
An old black taxi looking vehicle transporting them
Police/security have pig faces, this is to represent the British phrase that the police are “pigs”
Low key lighting used for most of the video whereas some is pure daylight
Flare light used
Unfocused shots are used to make the viewer feel uneasy and uncomfortable

Cinematography (shots, framing, camera movements)
Establishing shot of whole band
Through the whole video it's quite slow paced
Smooth shots with many different shots used
Many close ups or mid shots
Many close ups in the taxi of the lead singers face


Editing (transitions, pace, continuity)
Pace is faster when the fight starts and the song drops in
During the song it's all fairly slow paced and calm


Special effects (colours, graphics, CGI)
Slo-mo at start
Shots are dimmed down and given a grey scale tone
All of the video is in slo-mo as if we are being led to something, which we are, a minute before the end the song drops in and then there is a fight between the “pigs” and “thugs” and that is when the shots return to standard motion
During the fight the shots cut from slo-mo shots to standard motion shots.
