Enter Shikari- Snakepit: video analysis

Enter Shikari-Snakepit
Enter Shikari are a band who attract a wide audience from people who enjoy metal to indie people de to their electro/dubstep/rock/metal genre combination.
In this music video, it opens up with a close up of Rou's face in the darkness, singing the opening lyrics of the song; this calm state juxtaposing the next shot and giving it more of an impact as the lighting changes from black to green and the scene changes from darkness to a performance room with lots of electronic-style cuts to the crowd, the band and a symbol, cutting to the beat of the electro introduction of the song to give it a dancey-feel and highlights the genre. There are quick zoom ins and zoom outs of the people dancing, along with extreme close ups of two-steppers to speed up the pace of the video along with the song. The continuous close ups of Rou's face show the importance of his image as he is the lead singer and also the one in the band who makes the dubstep which is further emphasised with the extreme close up of the mixing board.
An interesting shot following this is when a member of the crowd jumps through the symbol that keeps being editied in and it's quickly reversed and them put forward again which shows that there is some significance to this symbol, like there will be with the ghosts and masked people in ours.
The instruments and music is then made significant when the dubstep and the hardcore music is about to start, there are a series of close ups of the musicians picking up the guitar and drum sticks, for instance, just before the instruments are about to come in to the song.
There is then a good sequence of shots when Rou sings in to the camera to show his importance and then headbutts it, pushing it backwards on a possible track and dolly through the wall of death in the crowd which is someone which we could attempt to do but in the skatepark with the skaters. This, along with all of the wide and ariel shots of the hardcore dancers and mid shots of Rou singing whilst leaning in towards the people shows the significance of the audience to the band.
