Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors by Editors

Use of Camera -handheld camera so looks rough and fits in with the indie rock genre-low angle shots of the girl connote that the world is her oyster-lots of shots of the band because them and their instruments are what sell them so they need to be seen

Pace and Rhythm of Editing

-matches the pace/beats of the song-montage edit creates their lifestyle as being hurried and haphazard-evenly paced editing of the band and the narrative, it’s almost shot for shot which shows that they are both as important as the other-crosscutting creates relationships within the video

Genre Ingredients -inclusion of the performance elements is very conventional for the indie rock genre-disrupting equilibrium is common in indie rock because that is often what their songs are talking about-pace and rhythm fits in well with expectations of genre

Audience and Text -highlights fanbase with things which they understand and therefore makes a connection between them-audience get the satisfaction of piecing together the story

Type of Video -hybrid of performance and narrative-disjuncture

Video and Lyrics -lucid link to hospital line in song title/lyrics-video partially illustrates the song lyrics
