This music video is slightly different to others that I'll be analysing in terms of genre. It has quite a low tempo and slow beat, but the video itself works very well in my opinion, and could go with a more upbeat, intimidating track.
The video is based around 4 basic characters, who are pretty much the same. They are absolutely encased in enigma, as they all have different coloured hoodies on, with blackened out faces. This clearly takes a lot of inspiration from the four horsemen of the apocalypse biblical reference. In my opinion, this is a very interesting concept, bringing in a very old and somewhat mythical phenomina into a modern setting. The saddening and quite slow vocals of the video fits well with this theme of mystery, and this is emphasised by the abundance of slow motion shots.
Due to Seven Nation Army being quite a low bass but up beat song, slow motion shots might fit in well at some points, so I can take inspiration from this video and use some similar shots.
The opening shot to the video is also quite interesting to me, and there are also a few of these similar shots throughout the video. These shots are probably in the video to put emphasis on the state of the setting. The dark grey colour grading as well as the stereotypical depressing, city shots makes for a very stylised and "boring" video.
