Something Good Can Work - Two Door Cinema Club (2010)
The video to accompany Something Good Can Work was released in 2010, almost a year after the song was released. Since it was released on YouTube it has amassed on 14 million views. The music video was filmed in the Canary Islands
Something Good Can Work makes use of several establishing shots to introduce the song, however unlilke some other music videos I have analysed such as Radioactive, this piece simply jumps straight into a non-diegetic soundtrack with no pause for diegetic sound or sound other than that of the soundtrack.
There are three initial establishing shots that focus on nature and long shots of scenery which are transistioned into and out of via the use of fades to black. This is a intersting technique as it shows that standard cuts do not always have to be used in music videos and so gave me a wider scope of shots that are able to be used. The final establishing shot is then transistioned via the use of an environmental wipe into the first shot of our performer, which again shows the wide use of editing techniques in this piece.
