metal vid analsis 2: Andrew W.K.: party hard

editing 
this video has a range of different types of editing used on it. that different points in the video the size of the screen suddenly changes, also the colour, i am not sure what is technique is called but it is very effective (see clip 1). also at different points in the video a shot is rewound, this is strange but interesting (i am not sure what to say about this) (see clip 2).  by using all of these strange effects, it gives the idea that we are watching this drunk; as the lyrics state that they to "party hard" which invols a lot of drinking.

clip 2 

camera work
this video is mainly had up of extreme close-ups, close-ups, mid shots and low angle shots. the low angle shots are used to make it seem as if we are in front of the stage watching the show. but it could be said that it give the band look more aggressive as the like to "party hard" each also include violence. the close shots are used to show the effort the band is putting into what they are playing.  
































me-en-scene 
they are in a warehouse playing to no one, we think this because we never see an audience. by using the stage, it allows the band to set up as they would normally at a show. also, they all look really wet, this shows that they are working really hard while playing this song that they are sweating.  
sound
that the beginning of the video, this is a lot of dialectic sounds, including a tape dripping, doing his shoe laces up, hitting his shoe, flicking the light switch and the lights turning on. then the rest is just the sound.
