Bastille- Of The Night	A man is driving his car. He gets out at a crime scene. He enters the house and looks at a body lying on the ground who then mimes the lyrics. This continues for a while as more people also lip sync who are outside the house. He then gets in his car and visits multiple other crime scenes where all are found miming these lyrics. He then is seen in a bathroom splashing water on his face, showing he is confused. By the end of the video he is seen himself to be involved in a murder and mouthing the lyrics too.	It is set outside in the majority. We do also see him entering multiple crime scenes. This is a continuous theme throughout. By the end we see him in a crime scene himself, where the obvious narrative follows a trend up until the point we see him lip synching the lyrics and looks to of been murdered himself.	23 Different shots. Some shots are held on the same scene for a long time, such as when the investigator is driving his car to the crime scene initially. After this we see lots of different shots, which include different shot angles, such as high and low angle and close ups and mid shots.	Cut- From one shot to another, it means that the music video looks continuous, mellifluous and flowing. It helps make the video look realistic. The cuts also make it look like a stereotypical music video and are something we should use when creating our music video.   Fade to Black- This was at the very end and showed the audience that the music video had ended. This appeared just before the virgin media credits showed on the screen.	It shows no real stereotypes. It is a very unique video and different to any other I have seen.
