Research into student made music videos Imagine Dragons Radioactive


This video is a narrative driven piece, with no instrumentals or shots of any musicians performing the song. The video appears to be about someone who has become infected with some sort of disease that has turned him into a zombie like character. There are four characters within the piece, all male, three dressed in white, disposable full body suits with weapons and the character that is playing the zombie. All the sound is non-diegetic and only the song is heard, played over the top of the piece. The video takes place in a field that is shown to be private property, the lighting is all natural, having been filmed on a sunny day, while this does create a couple of interesting shots with the rays of sun shining through the bushes, the video would have been more suited to a night time shoot, as some of the guns and acting is a bit cheesy, and the make up and costumes aren't really up to scratch. Having shot this at night or dusk would have taken some of the attention away from the slightly poor costumes and using flashlights could have created some really interesting potential shots.
