Analysis of

Under Cover Of Darkness by The Stokes is made to look like an orchestral video rather than the punk band they actually are. The video is filmed in 2 places, a theatre and a posh mansion. At the beginning we see the band playing up at the balcony's of a theatre, we see each band member playing their instrument which is a conventions of a typical music video. As the video progresses we see the band in a old style mansion which conveys, well mannered and rich people rather than a indie band. We can then see the band playing on the stage of a theatre whilst being conducted, this is juxtaposition as punk band playing in a theatre is extremely out of place. The video its self looks very old fashioned because the parts of the video are in black and white which is a colour connoting the past which also links to the theatre which is a performance of the past in todays world.
