Camera:
Close up of peoples feet walking past to begin (Black boots, white background)
Close up of the bands faces and instrument playing
Tracking out from close up of singer to show the whole band in the frame
Mid Shots of members playing the guitar/drums
Low angle looking up at the drummer playing - gives him status
Main focus on main singer
Whip pan from each band member to the next
Editing
Shots are quite long and in the same place
Camera tracks a lot up and down the band members to the instruments
Fade in of the band in an extreme long shot
Speed up the clouds and the background
White lights coming of the guitar to match the tempo
Mise-en-scene
Band members all wear black (Jeans and t-shirts) and have long dark hair to instantly represent their genre
Set in the same place throughout with a green screen behind changing the scene and time of day for the performance
White screen used (normal lighting)
Lighting goes up and down on the band
Sound:
The song 'On Call' by the band
Performance:
Lip synching to the camera - shows emotion
Playing the drums/guitars as a band - shows them together
Music video unavaliable - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DK_8VZm_Dg&ob=av2n
Good break down of the video into its micro elements. Your analysis of the sound could be a little more detail, although you do point out that they lip-sync in your performance analysis. You could make a little more of the mise-en-scene, buy describing the "location" in a little more detail. All in all a good post.
