Two Door Cinema Club/ What You Know/ Review



Two door cinema club is a band made up of three members who have originated from Northern Ireland. They formed back in 2007 and they're genres of music include indie rock and electronic.
This video is shown against a white background which enhances all the different coloured costumes, instruments etc.  
The video begins with a tracking shot of the dancers in the studio. The camera follows them as they begin dancing in time to the music, where there are close-up shots used. The first glimpse that the audience see of the band is from behind where they are seen on platforms and shot-reverse shots are used before you are able to see they're faces. 
When the lyrics begin there is a close-up of the main singer, he doesn't look at the camera so it gives a side view of his face. The camera angle changes to a shot of a woman standing to his side as if its her he's singing to. There are shot-reverse shots and also close-ups of the two as the lyrics are sung. There are medium close-ups of the group as the dancers perform around them. There is then a shot shown of two girls in a bubble bath in front of the platforms where the band are staged. 
The next shot switches to the lead singer walking through a crowd of women, to create this image a tracking shot is used. There are switches between close-ups and medium close-ups as this scene takes place. There is a side-angle shot of the band leaning against one side of a wall with dancers on the other, this shot is used so the audience can see what both the groups are doing at the same time, this angle also gives more of an unusual effect.  There is then another shot-reverse shot between the previous side-angle  shot and a medium close-up shot of the band leaning against three doors with the dancers shown in the gaps between. 
After this scene the previous white background become a black one, where the band are seen  in an unusual multi-colored blurred effect. These effects are completely different from the atmosphere of the previous scenes in the video. Shot-reverse shots are again used swapping this black image for the previous white one. The white image returns as the video comes to an end and the band are seen walking towards the camera using another medium close-up. The video ends as the image becomes bronze and black and the camera moves off to the side.
