Katie, Alex, Joe, and a Mr. Thom Yorke

This video demonstrates perfomance, narrative, and conceptual qualities. It exhibits the quality of perfomance because it gets the audience to see the visual aspect of the band playing, like Tom for example, people would think that the way he visually performed in the video is how he did in the recording. The video is a narrative because there is somewhat of a concept that you can follow. It is a bit unclear but you can still tell that there is a story being told. The video allows you to put your own meaning to it, and that is why it is conceptual. In terms of how the video sounds, it has a calm feel at some points and then adrenaline is added to the song. We think the tempo goes well with the video. The lyrics really allow you to kind of interpret the video how you like, giving no exact answer to what they mean. The video is pretty interesting, and the band is shown. They are not exactly the focal point but are a part of the video. Imagery wise there are very classy business men shown with one who starts laying on the pavement. In the end they all end up doing the same. There are quick action shots and some shots that are movie like for the narrative part of the video and when the band is shown more close ups and quick moving camera shots. It does a really good job of separating the narrative from the band shots. All in all we think that the overall message of the video is to leave people alone and get out of the repetitive routine.
