Research. Analysis of the video 'Under Cover Of Darkness.



In this video by The Strokes there seems to be around 4 different set ups but all seem to be in the same building which is interesting. There are various takes of the band rocking in the posh building with a 4 class meal.
The whole band are wearing suits with their own different styles of doing so with the singer when in the location of the leather sofa wearing a leather jacket and sun glasses which looks very rock'n'roll. I like that the band keep perfoming at different places in the same building in this video, my favourite being on stage at the theatre with a guy composing as if it were a classical peice.
I like the tracking shot from the posh red chair all the way back to the table of candles to the band playing. I think this shot is effective because it comes in just as the lyrics and vocals to the song start so you usually expect to see the singer but this is different in a good way. 
All the editing in this video is spot on with the beat and usually at the end of each bar or roll complimenting the music.
