Music Video - Rusted from the Rain
The music video contains the band playing music while standing on scrap metal heaps, with a story filling inbetween scenes of the band playing. Rusted from the rain, the title of the song is also what happens to metal when it stays in the rain, this gives a reason to create the music video about a scrap metal collector, while the band are playing on hills of metal, creating a link between the music and the video.
During the video the camera is constantly moving while the band members are being shown, this creates more interest than if the camera was in a fixed spot, it makes the shtos more interesting to the audiences eye, as the movement speed moves in time with the music. An example of this is shown in the movement from the people, in the video are slow at the start, this is due to the music being quite slow at the start of the song. Half way through the song the tempo increases and so does the amount of camera shot changes, creating a faster pace within the video to go along with the song.
The singer is often shown in close up shots while singing, this has been done to the show the emotion in he's expressing while singing, giving the audience a greater understanding to what kind of mood the song is about.
Within the song there is a line "now i'm just a stray", the video then cuts to footage of a cat moving it's head to looking at the camera, this matches Andrew Goodwin's theory of music videos where he writes that "There is a relationship between lyrics and visuals", which is indeed the case for this video.
One of the guitarists stands on top of a mountan of scrap metal during the video, this also links with Dyer's theory on "The star is an image, not a real person", the guitarist has created an image for himself by playing on a higher location then the camera, creating an epic feel to his guitar playing, like he's ruling a kingdom when he plays the guitar, looking down from people on his balcony.
