Shot Count Task

In this music video by Tegan and Sara, there are a total of 142 shots. The video last for two minutes, which is relatively short for an average music video.It was very hard to actually count all of the shots and i had to do it twice to make sure i had the correct count. The music is very fast paced, and each beat matches a switch with the cameras and cuts. There are many close up shots of the main singer in the video as well as medium shots, picturing them playing their instruments. The wide shots are few and far between because the set of the music video is in a very enclosed space. The actual video features the walls covered in posters of the band from previous albums and songs, this could represent them playing new music and getting a new image. ripping the posters down show that they want to change.
