The Kooks - Sofa Song
The kooks music video is another performance based video. The band appears in this video performing their music rather than acting out a story. The video has a theme with a jigsaw affect, where the picture on screen appears fragmented.
The video starts with images of locations with instrumental, when the lyrics start, band members appear on screen. This video uses a lot of close up shots of either the singer or maybe an instrument. At one time we can see the screen divided into many fragmented images. This effect is used a lot rather than establishing shots of the band. Establishing shots are used but very rarely and if used they appear with quick transitions.
We as an audience see the singer on screen alone a few times. These clips have been shot with a hand held effect, as though the artist is filming himself. The band change locations from what seem like studios or empty warehouses to the close-ups of the main singer outside.
