The use of three dimensional figures against a two dimensional back drop is really interesting effect in this music video. I like it because it really makes the people and the band stand out and is almost like you're reading a pop up book about the story that the song is telling.

The use of extras is also something I like about this music video as they are all doing something interesting behind the main action, such as dancing or kissing, but they are played back and forth in a cycle. Its a good use of editing because it adds the feel of being in a club or where ever is being portrayed in the video because it is showing 'common poeple' as if they're just doing the same thing over and over, not doing anything else and not doing anything special because they're 'common'.

- I would like to try and use the idea of using editing to create a sense of a certain thing, such as the two dimensional back drop has against the three dimensional people as to distinguish the people and 'characters', or the repeating actions of the people creating a sense of repetition and 'commonness'.
