1.
Shot duration: 3 seconds
Camera: Extreme close up of character's face. Off-centre to the frame (rule of thirds), with slight camera wobble
Mise-en-scene: Beads of sweat clearly visible on the character's nose to indicate it's hot or he's stressed with the domestic violence occuring. TV flickering out of focus behind him to signify he's out of touch with his childhood. Dark lighting to reflect the darkened mood set by the domestic violence earlier.
2.
Shot duration: 1.5 seconds
Camera: Close up from a slightly lower angle than before showing the character's face in shadow. Slightly off centre with slight camera wobble again.
Mise-en-scene: Dark lighting again to maintain the dark mood with the flickering of the TV visible on the side of his head to remind the audience of his lost childhood. Character is backlit to cast his features in shadow to make him seem more mysterious.
3.
Shot duration: 1 second
Camera: Mid shot showing one of the brothers helping the other up. Camera is about waist height looking down on the boy.
Mise-en-scene: Lighter shot contrasted to the previous two which show the boys are happier together than alone
4.
Shot duration: 1 second
Camera: Mid close up shot with the camera at eye level. Boy crosses the centre of the frame.
Mise-en-scene: Dark lighting behind him compared to the light pouring through the window suggests he wants to be outside rather than in the house as it's not as horrible or depressing out there as it is in the house. Paint peeling off the window frame to signify the house might be a bit delapidated.
5.
Shot duration: 1 second
Camera: Close up again at eye level. Boy is framed in the right third of the frame.
Mise-en-scene: Lighting similar to last shot for the same reasons. Scars just below the boys nose to show he hasn't been cared for properly.
6.
Shot duration: 17 seconds
Camera: Starts with a high angle long shot of the boy leaning out the window. Tracks out to an extreme long shot whilst keeping the boy centred for the first 5 seconds. Tracks outwards even further and to the right, whilst shifting the boy to the very left of the frame. Maintains the same height throughout until the last 3 seconds where it peds upwards.
Mise-en-scene: This is an establishing shot so the slums are shown to alert the audience to the boys location. City is shown behind during the last few seconds to firstly give the audience an idea of the country and secondly to help contrast the harshness of the slums to the city behind.
7.
Shot duration: 1 second
Camera: High angle close up of the boys' feet. Camera tracks backwards whilst giving each pair of feet an equal half of the frame.
Mise-en-scene: Both of the boys' feet shown walking on a dirty floor with litter around to show this is still in the slums.
8.
Shot duration: 1 second
Camera: Close up shot whilst tilting up and right. Each boy is centred in his own half of the frame again from the front.
Mise-en-scene: Boys' clothes can be seen to indtroduce their costumes to the audience so they are easily recognisible.
9.
Shot duration: 1 second
Camera: Eye line mid shot with the camera slightly canted. Boys' have their own halves again but from the back this time. Camera tracks forward with them as they walk maintaining the same distance away from them.
Mise-en-scene: The boys' shoulders are shown so the audience can tell them apart based on the clothes they were wearing earlier. Light source is infront of them to relate back to the boy going towards the light shining through the window: this time they are both going towards the light. This is emphasised by the dark shadows to the sides and behind the boys.
10.
Shot duration: 3 seconds
Camera: Eye level mid shot tracking backwards as the boys walk maintaining the same distance. Boys are centred within the frame.
Mise-en-scene: Boys are framed in the light this time for the first time, with the dark shadows behind them. This is why the boy on the right has his arm around the other, to show they are happy to be together and away from the dark lighting and therefore the dark mood associated with the dark lighting.
11.
Shot duration: 2 seconds
Camera: Mid low angle shot also tilted to the left as the camera slowly tracks forwards. Framed centrally with camera woblle.
Mise-en-scene: Bags hanging on the wall on the very left of the frame match those hanging on the wall by the boys in the previous shot. Little girl looking straight into the camera therefore appears to be looking straight through the camera at the boys, judging by the positioning of the bags on the wall.
12.
Shot duration: 1 second
Camera: Mid canted angle eye level shot with lots of camera wobble this time.
Mise-en-scene: Boys have changed costumes this time to indicate a new day. Railway can be seen behind them to suggest they are not in the slums anymore. Boy with earring has that side of his head turned towards the camera to help the audience tell which one of the two characters he is.
13.
Shot duration: 3 seconds
Camera: Canted close up with lots of camera wobble.
Mise-en-scene: Boys are switched back to original costumes to show a different scene. Both laughing to contrast to the sad looks earlier on in the house.
14.
Shot duration: 3 seconds
Camera: Mid shot, camera tracks backwards. Boys go from the centre to the right of the frame.
Mise-en-scene: Still seen walking into the light areas rather than away from them. One boy has his arm around the other to show how the pair of them get on well.
15.
Shot duration: 1.5 seconds
Camera: Boys framed centrally in a mid shot. Camera starts to pan left towards the end of the shot.
Mise-en-scene: Again, the costumes, location and the lighting are kept different to help the audience tell which scene this is. Boys are in the light this time and seem to be enjoying themselves.
16.
Shot duration: 1 second
Camera: Long shot, pans left with the boys in the background this time, and framed to the left of the screen. Focus on a man in the foreground instead.
Mise-en-scene: One of the boys has given the other his hat to show they get along well and trust each other.
17.
Shot duration: 0.5 seconds

Mise-en-scene: Other boy still has his brother's hat on.
18.
Shot duration: 1 second
Camera: Mid eye level shot where the rule of thirds is used to frame the boys and the shopkeeper equally over each side of the stall, with camera wobble.
Mise-en-scene: Boys shown laughing together to signify their shared personalities.
19.
Shot duration: 1 second
Camera: Stays stationary in a mid shot before the camera tilts down and to the left. Boys go off frame into the bottom left corner.

28.
Shot duration: 1 second

Mise-en-scene:
29.
Shot duration: 3 seconds
Camera: Mid shot, camera tracks backwards and pans side to side, mixing up the framing of the boys.
Mise-en-scene: Boy on the left doesn't seem phased by being chased - which could be a hint to what he goes on to do later in the video, whilst the boy on the right seems to be getting a huge rush from it. Costumes have changed again to show this is another chase scene to the ones in the previous shots.
30.
Shot duration: 1 second
Camera: Close up of the mans shoulder as he runs past. Camera focused on the kids watching the chase.
Mise-en-scene:
Conclusion
- Seeing as this was a narrative, there were no shots of the lead singer or band.
- The shots are on average about 1 second long - coupled with the camera wobble and quick pans along with movement of the boys withing the frame, this creates effective tension and adds to the pace of the chase. This was particularly effective from shot numbers 19-28, hence the lack of notible mise-en-scene to keep the audience focused on the boys being chased.
- The transitions used are simple cuts, no fades or anything fancy. This helps to keep the pace up during the chase scene, but keeps audience attention on thenarrative rather than any complex editing.
- Pretty much the whole video is shot in slow motion - bar one or two shots. Throughout the video however, the slow motion is slowed down to various degrees, enabling a quick change of pace and therefore mood to go in sync with the music.
