Bastille - Pompeii

Page 2: Bastille   pompeii

First shot First shot of the video shows our artist looking over something, without music and just the wind it is a very tense building time. Raising the atmosphere, wanting the audience to know what’s there.

Second shot This shot gives us the name of the song and the band. The way Pompeii has been laid out makes it go well with the backdrop while also hinting at the fact that the city is abandoned like actual Pompeii. We also finally get to see what the artist is looking at.

Third shot

The music starts to play when we see this close up shot of the artist.The audience is trying to imagine what is going through his mind before theShot changes to something else

Page 5: Bastille   pompeii

Fourth shotThis shot shows us what type of place our artist is living in. All run down and on a mattress which is on the floor. This adds to the idea of which the title of the song gave us about the city being dead or abandoned. He is also looking out the window, maybe looking for any type of life.

Fifth shotThe shot then changes to the singer singing in complete darkness. Here with light shinning on his face in this close up, along with him being in centre frame, means that we as an audience are automatically locked onto him.

Sixth shotThis action shot shows us that our artist is on a bike riding through rubbish filled street. Since he’s not on a car or the streets aren’t cleared then we can assume that the city is dead. This along with all the derelict building support this claim.

Seventh shotThis shot shows our artist in a close up, looking down and sad. Perhaps he is remembering the way life was. It also appears he is in front of a tuck. This could mean that he found away out of the city and is going forward in life. Propelling the narrative along.

Eighth shotIn this shot we see a woman who has blacked out eyes. This is not normal as our artist recoils from seeing her. This means that this is what’s wrong with the city, also the lyrics go with this as it is saying he is going to be an optimist even against bad odds when the city is like this

Ninth shot Again we see that more people have been turned into these things, resulting that they are the cause for the downfall. This scene goes in time with the lyrics as when he says “close your eyes” they open theirs. Which could mean that they do the opposite of good things or that they are not optimistic.

Tenth shot

In this shot we see how he gets his vehicle which turns out to be a car. This only shows progression of the narrative but also shows us that they have kept him still in centre frame so the audience eyes doesn’t have to move to much.

Eleventh shotAs the music comes to a slow tempo we find ourselves on board in the car. This symbolizes that things are calming down since he is safe and sound. The music lyrics are also quite reflective and this could link to him now. Being reflective as he drives away.

Twelfth shot Here we see him checking his eyes in the close up shot. We see them dilate and become blacker, indicating that he is turning into one of them. Because of this we can assume the ending is near and the song is ending.

Thirteenth shot We can now see that he has gone out of the city for he wants whatever it is to happen, outside of the city. This could symbolize the fact that he’s accepting what is happening.

Fourteenth shotIn this shot we see that the singer is now got his eyes closed, this is new for when we see him singing so it could mean that he has changed. He is also talking about closing your eyes again which he is doing. This could mean he hasn’t been taken over just yet.

Fifteenth shot In the second to last shot we see him once again overlooking a view. More natural this time, we can assume he has come here to change peacefully. AS it mirrors the beginning of the video, we can conclude that this is definetly the end of it and the story.

Sixteenth shot He then turns around showing the audience that he has fully changed, drawing and end to the video and story. This also is shown as when he turns around and his eyes go dark the music ends. Showing the lyrics and videos symbolizing the same thing
