Location/ Mise-En-Scene: The locations shown in the video are that of a desert. This location is seen through the superimposed fade behind the band as they perform as well as the shots of the band walking through the desert itself. In terms of lighting, the lighting is mostly low-key however it isn’t so overpowering in either way (Low and high-key lighting) )The costumes include that of the band member’s normal clothing of baggy t-shirts and trousers. This ordinary image is highly conventional of the genre and band. The band play with their instruments (Guitars, drum kits, microphone).
Representations: There is the representation of youth as the band members dance and ‘feel the music’ in an artistic way. This representation of youth is reinforced by the clothing the band members wear which are in no way glamorous or expensive. This once again reinforces the idea of the band being ordinary.
Performance/ narrative/ concept: The production showcases the band walking through a desert and performing in a montage style. The video is filled with superimposition and the psychedelic purple colour. There is little narrative in the production due to the easy and relaxed feel the video has to it.
Performance style: The style of performance in this video is that of a slower paced tempo. The slower movements of the band members indicates this. Much of the slowing down has been achieved through after effects, however many of the movements are indeed just performed slower than the conventional Britpop music performance.

Shot types:
This establishing shot is one of the first shots of the video and accurately demonstrates the area of performance and sets location for the rest of the video.
This shot encompasses the entire band and shows the location of the performance. This is an effective shot due to the fact it shows the entire band playing their instruments, and demonstrates unity. 
This medium-long shot depicts the bassist performing in front of a faded purple sand dune, in synchronization with the rest of the production.
This low-angled shot gives mild star treatment to this band member as it makes the audience look up at said performer. This demonstrates a superiority complex.
