Video Bank: Numb


"Numb" by Linkin Park

I quite like the frequent switch between the narrative/ story of the music video, and the bands actual performance, I feel there is an almost perfect balance between the two very different elements of the music video. Also, there are multiple time lapse montage scenes, in which the female actor remains still or slow moving, and everyone around her is moving at the time lapse pace, which enabled me to figure out that she was the main focus of the narrative element of the video.
Now, while the video includes various elements that one would assume would keep audiences entertained, the main thing that kept ME watching this video, as with most of the music videos I have watched, is the music itself. I feel that the video is an accompaniment to the main event which is the music.
I could possibly use a similar time lapse technique for my own music video, however I am not sure about the difficulties of undertaking such an advanced technique.
