Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Don't Stop

'Can't Stop' is a conceptual based music video, which doesn't follow a narrative, however has some aspects of performance.

Camera: The video opens with a tracking shot through a yellow tunnel for approximately 0.22mins, this instantly denotes the conceptualised based video. The short shot of a close up of the lead singers face further connotes their originality, which is reinforced through the mise-en-scene. The range of mid-shots and long shots of various items in the location are used to further connote the idea that the film doesn't follow a narrative of any form, and is ultimately random. The shots of one of the band members in a bin connotes the abnormality of the video, which is further connoted through the range of distances and by positioning the same three shots next to each other. The variation of shot distance throughout the music video allows the unusual and unique style of the video to be identified throughout. However, whilst the shot distances vary, the angle often stays central connoting a simplistic, yet conceptual style.

Mise-en-scene: Throughout, colour appears to be a dominant aspect in the video; the band is often shot in a white building, however bright coloured objects are positioned in the setting, connoting the outrageous and flamboyant personalities of the band members. The randomness of the objects further connotes this style, as the band members are seen with objects such as tents and plastic bottles. By shooting the male band member without a top on, it connotes his dominance in the band which is further connoted as the majority of shots are filmed of him.

Editing: The pace of editing is fairly fast throughout the video, connoting the lack of structure. Throughout the video the only transition technique used is cutting, this allows the audience to see the various locations within only a few seconds of the video, further connoting the random and abnormal style of video. The band members facial expressions also connote the unusual theme which is portrayed throughout, as they expressions connote energy and a sense of over excitement.
