Kings of Leon - use somebody

Kings of Leon are a band which have a typical rock image, using dark colours and showing their rebelliousness through the use of dark clothing and showing images of the band smoking which also adds to their rock image.

There is a lot of camera movement used through out this video making it seem more exciting to watch. For example many tracking shots using a dolly as well as zooming and reverse zooming. This creates interesting and different angles to watch such as the high angle shots looking down at the city below. A low angle shot is also used a few times through in the video suggesting that the band are superior and should be admired. The footage is mostly filmed at night reinforcing the rock image of dark colours but using the bright lights of the city to make it more appealing to the audience. Many of the shots which are not filmed at night are in black and white as this keeps with the dark theme of the video.

The editing is very fast cutting between the band backstage and the live gigs that they have done as well as there being an actual storyline to the video, which involves random shots of a love interest and the lead artist in the band sitting alone in an apartment suggesting that they are not together anymore. Fades are also used between the wide shot of the city and the close up of the lead artist face.
