The main shot throughout this video is a close-up of Sinead O'Connor singing to the camera which adds a depressing feature to the video it also makes the main focus the words of the song you don't get distracted from listening to it . However it is a boring music video and not very effective at keeping the audience engaged throughout it.
Extreme - More Than Words (1991)
At the start of the video we see half of the band leave and they go and watch this suggests that it's not their usual kind of music, these members don't look very interested and later on in the music video wee see them waving lighters almost mocking the fact that it is a cheesy romantic song. The video has more cinematic pans and slow fades which set the mood of the song as being very calm and subdued it is focused more on the song rather than a fancy pyrotechnics to make it more exciting and enjoyable. The black and white used to be artistic but also adds to the reserved approach of the video.
I like the black and white effect and we may use this for the shots of our band. I also like the way the camera zooms in as it pans and would like to try and include this somehow in the music video.
