Video Bank: Full Metal Jacket
"Full Metal Jacket" by Eastroad
The choice of location is excellent, I do love an abandoned building. Also, the use of blatantly fake toy guns ads a satirical element to the politically based lyrics of this up-and-coming independent rock band. During the performance element of the music video, the band members are constantly moving, as is the camera, which I feel helps to balance out the tension from the narrative element, which involves the band members dressed (albeit satirically) as soldiers, hunting each other through this abandoned building.
There is one excellent shot/ after effect at 0:47, which looks like a view through some sort of rifle scope, which is something I have never seen before.
