Fightstar - Palahniuk's Laughter
The mise-en-scene of this video is very unusual as we see the band standing in a pool of water being rained on, holding their instruments. The shots are particularly interesting as a high angle is used in the opening of the video to illustrate the individuals emotions. The song itself has a strong emotional progression of sadness and anger, and the visuals enhance the emotion through lighting effects and CGI- example- lighting in the background of the pitch black scene. It almost looks like they are crying at parts when water runs down their faces. When the song reaches the chorus, the water jumps up suddenly as the artist plays agressively on his guitar, also showing an outburst of anger.
