Analysis of Rock Videos 2

System Of A Down - Chop Suey!

The video starts and ends with a camera tracking to and from the reveal and hide the audience, with their participation within the video. The band is also introduced in this sequence. The editing picks up in pace as the slow acoustic like guitar start turns into a fast tempo where the editing fastens. The band's movement around their open stage and around the video in general in very quirky and unusual, and the camera seems to track these movements a lot to emphasise this. The lead singer is dressed in a bright yellow t-shirt, while his other 2 band members are wearing no top, so this distinguishes them all apart from eachother. They all seem to have long pointy beards, and this apart of there band image.
