Music Video Analysis

For the music video analysis I have chosen Broken Bells “The High Road”. The video is very dark as it is shot exclusively at night. You get the sense of sadness and despair and at the beginning, fear. This is done well with the quick camera movements creating a sense of uncertainty. The emotions displayed in the video seem to correlate well with the song, being that it is originally about suicide. You also get the sense of them reminiscing in the past as they walk down the road with events taking place every so often. The steam/fog that appears continuously throughout the video also adds to the fear and tone creating a constant reminder. The fire could be referring to the destruction of ones self.
