Five Finger Death Punch: Coming Down




Analysing the music video

More music video  ideas

My partner and I was ask to listen to our chosen song  again while walking round the park and these are the ideas we came up with.

• Intro - The victim walking across a field with lip sync.
• A wood- the victim getting beaten to 'death'.
• With the lyrics ' I pull you under' some getting pulled down
• Lip sync through out the song
• Music quieter- drinking in alley way.
• Photo of the Girl and friend cut it in half then burn it.
• Scream parts- in mud, throwing it, kicking trees, angry, lip syncing.
• Instrumental-writing suicide note, finding something to 'do it' with.
• Main character sitting in solitude, surrounded my 'demons'.
• music dies down - shows scares on arms.

Here we went through the lyrics and annotated them on what we got from listening to the song. We highlighted about every two lines and wrote a sentence on the message we get from the lyrics. 

This is the Cd cover of which our chosen song is featured on the Cd.

Most of their CD covers are quite similar in style and colour. This help them create a name for themselves as it represents them as a band.

We have also look at out chosen songs wiki page. We annotated and highlighted the key points.

The Artist/Band Image and Representation

The style of clothing the band wear is  quite casual and is normally all black. Most heavy metal band group members are males and have tattoos. The bands merchandise ranges from metal pins of the bands logo and some CD cover art to leather jackets. They don't seem to appear in their own videos but they have stories to go along with the song.

Although they are a heavy metal band they do try to put messages across in their music  such as in the the song 'Wrong Side Of Heaven' on what war veterans can go through once they have left the army and it has facts on the veterans. In other music videos they sing about bullying, depression, anxiety, other mental health issues in our chosen song 'Coming Down'  it shows many of these issues and then drug addictions in the song 'My Nemesis'
