Textual Analysis; Arctic Monkeys 'Teddy Picker' Video

-Opening outside a building (studio) music equipment being moves, mid shot, natural lighting
-Shots 1-2 seconds each showing guitars, amps, recording equipment (cut to each shot)
-Cuts of band getting ready to record, sound of them preparing
-Music starts, 3 quick medium shots of drummer from front and each side (in time with music)
-Average (low budget) looking recording studio, mise en scene= natural colours, bands costume casual yet still indie
-Zooms on each band member, showing them playing their instruments. Variation between cuts and movements.
-Close up Shots of each band member individually acting natural, each 3 seconds each.
-Some shaky hand held camera movement, zooming in on lead singer.
-Cut to outside, natural bright lighting. Costume change, Band together wearing indie dark colours and long coats.
-Close up of shoes, ideology giving audience a sense of personal identification, special effects include red flash, doesn’t draw attention to itself however.
-Band walk in slow motion
-In a bar, typical British pub each with pints, again focus is on the audience and what they enjoy doing.
-No obvious narrative, just band practicing and then going to pub, a typical thing for our target audience to do.
