Temples – Keep in the dark
Shot count – 75
The video is your generic
performance video with lot of effects added to create an obscure, dynamic
visual experience. The video start off with several medium to long shots of
each band member and their instruments, to introduce you to the song and the
performance ahead. These first few shots are filmed through a mask to focus the
audiences attention towards the band member on screen. 
As the video progresses the
performance of the band builds, with more effects and movement. There are still
the cuts between the full band performing and individual performance but they
change less frequently and are more energetic. The camera shots are generally
the same, lots of close up and medium shots. This continues throughout the
video.
The video also features a lot
of silhouettes, which are created by colorful back lighting, and such things as
smoke machines etc. This is a recurring theme throughout the video and is done
to good effect. The video finishes off
with quite a few shots of the singer of the band as the instruments volume
lowers and the singer rounds up the track.
