Video Bank: American Idiot

 "American Idiot" by Green Day.
There is a huge variety of shots and angles, which allows the viewer the opportunity to see the entirety of the setting, as well as multiple angles of the band from various distances, which helps give the video a more well rounded feel. I am also fond of the visual effects and colourisation they have used, particularly the choice of green, as I think it is very suitable, given the fact that the band is called 'Green Day'.

This is the first shot the viewer sees, and I feel it is a rather powerful shot, as it goes towards establishing the scene, as well as identifying the main focus of the video, lead vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong. This would be a fairly simple shot to set up and capture, therefore I shall consider using it, or one of a similar nature in my own project.
