The Fratellis – Chelsea Dagger

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clhOnZRrmXc

This video is performance based but also has a narrative, as it appears to be filmed in an exclusive house that performs its own shows.

The shots are never more than a second or 2 long. The director also uses low camera angles to empower the band.

The majority of the shots are of the band, focusing on 4 shots in particular the whole band, and 3 individual ones of the members playing their instruments.

This film quite auteristic as the band are wearing very unique costumes and 2 of them are wearing top-hats. They are also performing on a stage which is pitch-black except for 3 spotlights on the band. There are lots of close-ups of the band members performing, to give the video a sense of authenticity

The camera also cuts every few shots to very attractive women who appear to be performers in lingerie-style costumes. They all have make-up on and are viewed in a voyeuristic way as the shots are all close-ups of parts of their bodies.
