This is the music track that we have chosen to make a music video for. The original music video is filmed in black and white and it is set in the past. It is mainly set in corridors with loads of straight lines.
The paste is quite slow which suggests the audience is relaxed and calm. This follows the name of the song because the name suggests that they don't do things today they do things tomorrow. There are a few pans and tracking shots in the original music video. The opening shot is of a close up of a door and a man taking a sign off the door handle. It tracks up the to the mans face and him shutting the door.
The next shot is of a corridor with loads of straight lines which draw the eyes to the end of the corridor.
Then there is an over the shoulder shot of someone writing something down. It the cuts to a shot of the person thats writing with a guitar which suggests that he is writing music. We then see a medium close up a metronome ticking away which suggests that it is set in the past and it shows that time is passing.
It then goes into focus on the back of the metronome and then it fades to black and a transition is used to go to the next shot of a road and it quickly cuts back to the corridor we saw before and we can see a sign on the left wall saying stage which suggests that they are about to go and preform on a stage.  Then a POV shot is used as they walk down the corridor and it goes to a tracking shot of three men with guitars it then cuts to a high angle shot of a man with no top on and starts walking down a corridor. It then cuts to another man with a white shirt on a guitar in his hand. It is a mid camera angle and there is low lighting and the man in the white shirt is lit up to show he is the most important thing in the scene.
Then we see a woman in a black shirt which symbolises a maid. The camera is positioned behind the woman and tracks behind her as she walks.
Then a POV shot is used as we see another maid walking past and it quickly cuts to another POV shot of someone typing on a type writer.
We then see a medium close up a guitar and a mic stand. We will be using a mic stand in our music video as well. 
The next shot is of a of a room and the props suggest that it is a dressing room because of the way the room is lit and the mirrors on the wall. It then pans across and then there is an picture effect where it is quickly edited to show different still shots. Then there is a medium close up of a a bin and the man opens it and we see his reflection. It cuts to the same shot as we saw before of the road. this is used as a time laps. The next shot is of the man we saw before standing in a wind. This shot is framed so the man is in the centre of the frame and he is looking down which shows that he is powerful. The next shot is an a high angle shot which pans up as the man runs up the stairs and the end of the shot shows a theatre type building with a stage and seats facing it. A high angle tracking shot goes on to the stage and it pans across to show everyone coming on stage.
The end scene is of a tracking shot which is going backwards down the corridor. 
We are going to use the tracking shots and studio take in our own music video that we are going to create.
