7. Bullet For My Valentine - Tears Don't Fall

Camera:
Mid shots and long shots used to create an easy 'breakup' story line
Handheld, Fast, Jolty camera movements when the beat is very fast
Camera pans around the lead singer
Extreme long shot shows the whole band together
Close up of the bands faces
Camera in an out of focus when its raining - makes it blurry
Extreme close up to show the Dial sign on car being 'Empty' of petrol/ lighter flame
Shot through a window to show them through the back of the car

Editing:
Fast paced cuts from each shot which matches the beat
Jolty camera movements to match the beat
Speed up shots
Slowed down intimate sex scenes/when the girls chucking oil because shes upset which creates the emotion
Lots of jump cuts used

Mise-en-scene:
Story line between girl and boy and boy leaves girl for another girl
Set in the day so uses natural lighting for the story
Band playing set in a black room, black back screen
Boy and girl dresses casually for story line whereas band members dressed in black
Band members have long hair - sets the genre

Sound:
Song 'Tears Don't Fall'

Performance:
Lip synching to the camera - the band together
Performing the story between boy and girl - creates emotion
