Analysis of "People, Help The People"

Hi

What do I expect to see?



  • Close-ups of the lead singer in particular
  • Many abstract shots of groups of people and places
  • Maybe some panning or tracking shots taking in panoramic and background shots
  • Religious imagery 






Regarding my second try at guessing features of music videos, I was definitely closer to being correct. The "many abstract shots of groups of people and places", and "maybe some panning or tracking shots taking in panoramic and background shots" was applied to the video. However, there wasn't any religious imagery and the musician wasn't included at all throughout the entire course of the video. The film was shot all in black and white as well, which was hugely effective giving the video a real sense desperation and sadness, which connects the film to the tone of the songs.
