JP: Technical Analysis of Alt-J (∆) Breezeblocks

Alt-J (∆) Breezeblocks

Shot	Camera	Editing	Mise-en-scene	Sound
0.00-0.07	Medium close up, still	-	Girl lying under the water in a bath	Start of the song, slow tempo
0.07-0.12	Close up	-	Man sat on the floor holding his head
0.12-0.13	Extreme close up	-	Hands on the man’s head, ring on marriage finger	Drums start and songs picks up pace
0.13-0.16	Close up	Reverse of what is happening	Water going up the tap
0.17-0.26	Close up + mid shot		Cuts between women in bath and man holding his head	Song starts to pick up tempo, chorus slowly starting
0.26-0.29	Close up	Reverse	Women getting out of the bath, water splashing out in reverse of how it entered	Volume increases as drums kick in
0.31-0.45	Mid shot	Reverse	The man chasing the women holding a block but everything is being reversed	Change in vocals, matching the change in visuals. More fast paced
0.45-1.15	Mid shots	All in reverse still	Following the narrative back a bit, as we see them before talking	Chorus
1.15-1.26	Mid shot	Reverse	Bottle smashing on the wall in reverse - Technique we want to use in our film	The beat dies down then drops again as the bottle smashes. Lyrics and visuals are similar

•  Breezeblocks is features a confusing narrative which does not make sense until the end which makes the video very engaging and replayable 
• We really like the concept of having the video in reverse and we plan to have some of our video like this

Stills:

This is the shot of when the audience first notice the reverse technique
