Hadouken - Get smashed, Gate Crash (Full analysis)

LYRICS: http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858707330/

the video starts with horizontal flicking lines across the screen which I would compare to a television which has lost its reception. The whole of this video is very jumpy and non-sesiqual. The video was recorded on hand held camcorders possessed by each of the members of the band on a stereotypical teenager 'binge' evening out. The editing is very jumpy, dark and doesn't really follow continuity editing. A lot of the shots are different to fathom out as to what they are and what is going on. the main themes of the video are sex, drugs and drink. The video is largely non-sesiquical as its so jumpy, dark and blurry that it is difficult to understand what is being filmed. i do not want to film my video in the hand held documentary type fashion. i think that the fact they have broken the 180 degree line ruins the feel of enjoying and understanding the video and also makes the viewer feel voyeuristic in the content and aspect of the video. it almost feels like a university students video documentary on an evening out with their friends which cements the nosey voyeuristic side of the video. i want to create a video with simple yet effective ideas which are easily understandable with a defined storyline, so i do not think i shall be taking any inspiration from this video as it isn't the context in which i want my video to be.
