The music video for Kickstarts is based on how (example) the main man, feels about a women. The first shot is a screen showing someone’s feet tapping to the beat of the music with example written across the screen which shudders to the beat also. It then swaps to someone else’s feet, I think a women’s, which is also tapping to the beat of the song.
The screen then splits in 2 showing both feet as if to suggest that they were meant for each other as they are making the same movement. The screen then splits into 4 areas, each showing different feet, both pares this time and after each beat, the feet change, this then gradually takes over the screen with more and more different tiled movies of feet tapping to the song.
The feet then dissolve to see a women’s face, which is touching her hands, as she is doing this the screen splits with (example) the main singer, singing the lyrics to the song. The images then change to him holding someone’s hands loosely, matching the lyrics to the song “might be holding your hand, but I’m holding it loose”.
The song carries on playing and the tiled movies change side at various points showing both singer and girl together, they then begin to play fight, however the singer (example) looks sad then happy afterwards. The screen changes to the singer, sitting and blowing chewing gum on his own, the base the song then gets faster and the beats quickens and a montage of different people take his place.
The screen then shoes the couple together, on an old style couch, where they are close to each other; however example is singing the words to the song, then going back to the shots of their hands, before finally going into the women’s face and then a montage of different women taking her spot.
The women then blows bubbles to the camera and it swaps to a montage of t tiles, horizontal to each other, showing different couples acting the same way as example and the women at the beginning, with a new tile appearing to the left of the screen when the men brush the women’s hair over the ear.
The camera then cuts to example standing in a doorway dancing, the screen cuts into the vertical pieces, each changing a section of his body to another person. Close ups of his face then show, then swiftly goes back to the 3 sections, however household objects and funny images are replacing some of the tiles. The camera then splits into two tiles, showing the top and bottom half of examples face, these then change to other peoples who have previously been in the video.
Screen the changes to example singing, and slowly the screen shudders down following the lyrics and beat of the song to exaggerate the meaning. Example is then sat on a bench while a woman is in a house in the same shot, but example slowly gets blurred out. Then goes to a close up of him singing, quickly cutting to a montage of images of him and the women sat at a table, and a small noose made from the pasta on the table.
Montages of different couples sat at the table begin to show, and then shortly followed by a close up of example on one side and a women on the other. Then swapping to mid shots of them both. And finally a close up of example. A shot of an eye is show on the left had side of the screen is shown as the lyrics become “ look into your eyes” a montage of example then appears with lots of close ups. And then a shot of 2 hands slipping away from each other as the change from different people’s hands.
Montages of different people are then shown as a couple, before it repeats going back to the 3 area section of examples body changing into other people. Shots of example are then used when he sings the lyrics, “ i get cold feet” and bare feet are shown underneath his body. A montage of different women’s body parts is then shown with close-ups of examples face. A montage of couples in a tent are then shown, swapping the people one after another. Finishing with a close up of the women on top of example smiling.
Overall, I think this is an exceptionally well made music video, that coordinates well with the lyrics of the song, but also the different angles and shots used as well as techniques lead to a interesting music video that really captures the views eye and tells a story to them as well as showing band members to publicises the band.
