7) Analysis of Rock video 3 - No Doubt - Don't Speak

No Doubt - Don't Speak

Cinematography consists of a pan of the artist on the opening sequence, two shots of the band members singing, extreme close ups of Gwen, low angle view of the band members on stage as well as high angles, high key lighting is also present.

Editing consists of a graphic match of the maggots in the opening scene , which turns into a fly on the artists head. Cuts are also present. The opening sequence opens with a mystical scene of a man in a forest at night with the moon shining and the water reflecting on his body, this same scene is also inputed at the end of the video but this time he places the orange back onto the tree. Also we see a point of view shot, over the shoulder shot and dutch angles on stage.

Mise en scene is rather rich in this video starting from the different locations al the way to the bands instruments. We see

guitars, drums and microphones, as well as props such as the dressing table, the diamond jewellery and rotting apple and fly. Flowers, stages, red lipstick, and a photo shoot was also used in this video.

Sound is a mixture of Gwen's soft voice singing as well as the sharp beats from the drums, guitars and outbursts of chorus.

Performance is interesting to watch as it does draw you into the video, we see the band dancing on stage, Gwen singing in the garage with the band, make - up and hair being done in the dressing room and the guys lying on the sofa.
