The camerawork in Fluorescent Adolescent is constantly moving around to keep to the fast pace of the video i decided that this would be something good to use as stationary shots would be boring and hard to match to the music. The video uses lots of Long shots, Mid shots and Closeups these where all used well, the long shots where to show the scene and multiple characters, the mid shots allowed for character interaction and the closeups where all focused on characters faces, we decided to use this when we made our music video so that it had the Arctic Monkeys "feel".
The editing was extremely fast with the average shot lasting approximately 1 second and some shots only lasting a few frames, this creates a fast and fluid feel to the video and matches the music in speed but also beet editing, the beet editing changes from time to time from the drum hits to bass picking but is seamless and works well without the average audience noticing, we wanted to have small amounts of beet editing as we wanted to focus the editing around the narrative, but we used beet editing to link between hard cuts.
There is also a small section that is lip synced perfectly, this was something that we wanted to incorporate into our video, but keep a good balance between lip sync performance and narrative. The colour grading in this video gave it a moody grey and yellow look, we wanted to use this in our video to make it seam darker and moodier like a typical arctic monkeys music video

The Mise-en-scene gave us some inspiration for our video, The location wasn't something we wanted to use but the very low budget seeming location influenced our use of the streets in our own video, it has a British feel because of the industrial location they have used, we couldn't find somewhere like that so we tried to use something that would have the same feel, this is where the streets idea came from. The moody weather and moody colour gave us an idea about the colour we wanted, we wanted to have a similar look from the weather but the weather was un-reliable for when we shot so this will be fixed in post production.
The narrative of this Arctic Monkeys video was not something that had a significant impact on our narrative, we wanted to have something that had some dark humor like in Fluorescent Adolescent, but we found this hard to do as we wanted to keep it realistic but we have some clips that might come across as funny but we will have to wait for feedback.

The camerawork in Don broco's Priorities uses allot of mid shots to allow for all four members of the band to be all in frame at one point, this influenced the section of our video with all four band members behind a wall, it was good framing and didn't look out of place. We also took inspiration from the panning around and moving camera, i found this allot more interesting than music videos with stationary shots.
The Mise-en-scene in this video in terms of location is a very big hanger this is a good location in terms of space for the band, equipment and crew but wouldn't have been suitable for the look and feel of our video. the costume for this video is very casual, we used this as it was a convention of indie rock videos but was also featured in this video, the masks used in this video also inspired us as it was a disguise for a robbery we decided to use masks but not the masks used in this video as it wouldn't have worked in terms of narrative.
Some aspects of this video inspired our narrative as it was all to do with a robbery, we decided to use some aspects because the narrative of the song "Balaclava" linked in nicely, we tried to use some ideas from the chase scenes especially the slow motion clips.
We took idea's and inspiration for the sections of the video from many music videos but mainly the don broco- priorities video, this look and style we wanted to achieve is featured in many indie/rock videos. This convention of closeups and long shots makes all the videos it is featured in faster in pace and much more interesting than videos without the interesting.
This look was not inspired by any particular music video but was inspired by TV shows like Top Gear, I sat in the back of a car holding a steady cam rig, we went at a speed slightly faster than the subject, this was an indie film-maker technique that i have picked up from Top Gear and other TV shows.
Close up's are a very common convention in indie/rock music videos, we wanted to follow this convention as it would make the audience see it as familiar but we wanted it it to stand out from every other music video, to do this we had the camera at canted and "odd" angles, this made it look very different from other music videos but not make the audience feel too odd about what they are viewing 
This shot is a 180 degree pan around out lead Singer, this made the shot look much more active and interesting than if we did the shot still on a tripod, this is not a common convention in indie rock videos, i have not seen this in any indie/rock videos that i have researched.
This shot is a close up lip sync is something that is very common in indie/rock music videos, this will be very familiar for audiences but will not be the same as everything as the singer is in a balaclava and not normal
