'Iron' by Woodkid

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• This video is almost completely shot in slow motion 

• The only shots that are at the correct speed are when the man is striking the drums in time with the music and when the man is reading from the book

• The cutting rate is generally fast through with most last 2 or 3 seconds which make the video very exciting 

• The band is completely absent from the video leaving it as a very much conceptual video 

• CGI is used within the video giving it a sense of other worldliness 

• The black streaks and explosions in conjunction with the white background look very simplistic but at the same time incredibly visually arresting 

• The whole video is shot in black and white leaving the focus on the action within the shot
