Blessthefall - Hey baby, Here's That Song You Wanted
Blessthefall is an American metalcore band from Phoenix, Arizona, currently signed to Fearless Records. The band was formed in 2003 by guitarist Mike Frisby, drummer Matt Traynor, and bassist Jared Warth. Their debut album, His Last Walk, with original vocalist Craig Mabbitt, was released April 10, 2007. Their second studio album, Witness, with current vocalist Beau Bokan, was released October 6, 2009. Their third studio album, Awakening, was released on October 4, 2011.
Instead of this just being a music video, this is also a short film. This advertises the band, and may persuade people to buy the single, possibly including the video itself. This video is mainly narrative because the whole video is a story and you do not see any performance.
At the beginning there is a tracking shot around the house to show, what mess happens after a stereotypical teenage house party also using closeups on the mess. The close up of the girls face, is done because it shows how angry the girl is when she finds out what has happened. There is a shot reverse shot between the lead singer and his girlfriend which you wouldn't normally get in a music video, as most videos are not a short film. The over the shoulder shot when two of the band member get into the red car shows what they can see from their point of view. At the end when there is the close up of the lead singer, and another band member, this shot makes it look like he is about to get married as he was originally going to be and not another band member. I have noticed that this short film, is like a proper film called 'The Hangover' because it has sort of the same storyline forgetting what they have done at a party and finding the pictures at the end.
