Lost Prophets - Last Train Home

This video combines both performance and a storyline into one. The editing is slick on the beat so that even though both of these are happening in parallel editing it all ties in together. Each part of the music video has a different tempo, meaning that the part with the "storyline" is slower, whereas when LostProphets are performing it's more aggressive and fast paced.

Because the music video includes both aspects of performance and a storyline there needs to be a clear cut and difference between them. We see the story of a couple in a sepia tone, perhaps as a memory? whereas the performance is in black and white, representing anger and loneliness? Rock music is often quite angry.

I like these types of videos because of the interesting camera angles and the beat gives a clear cut to edit at. Also using simple differences like lighting or video effects can create a dramatic change and help the audience understand.
