Incubus Warning video analysis

I think the Warning video for the band Incubus was wonderfully constructed. The video begins with a wide-shot of a city with the label of day one from that shot its jump shots into the building to Brandon Boyd *the lead singer* begnining the song, then jumps back out the the city and to different parts of the band such has the dj table of the guitar giving a sense of simultaneous actions, and a the story of another person. After the city shot it jumps to a girl in a building waking up, there is no dialogue in this movie which kinda adds to the story telling feel to this movie. This whole video really relys on the jump shots and the zooming in after the jump shot to add to the intensity and also show the story of different people happening simultaneously. The video is also shot in a sort of blue saturated color which also adds kind of a gloomy feel to the video which was the purpose. The meaning of the song and the way the video was shot made good harmony feeling wise and i really appreciate this style of video

  1. Good job.
    A little more detail would be nice. The objective of the editing in terms of the aesthetic and context of the video.
