Performance, Narrative
Shots of mad people in a madhouse?
Shots go back to the band performing in a room, mostly a longish
shot showing the entire bad but sometimes focuses on the singer
(close up) and individual members playing there own instruments.
Sometimes the narrative shots and the performance shots interlink
with what looks like crazy people walking around.

Performance

Very typical performance video, a variety of shots of everything from the


band to the crowd, with close ups of the instruments and the singer and so
on.

Looks to be taken at a real concert not a staged one.
