Lost In The Echo - Linkin Park

The music video for 'Lost In The Echo' by Linkin Park is set in an abandoned and decaying building. I think that there is a degree of props used to put more interest into the rooms in which the parts of the videi have been shot, however, I watched the video through and screen shot different points of the video where I thought there was a good use of establishment. From these still shots I have created a detailed analysis about each of the rooms. I think that I may be able to take ideas from the video, in the form if adding props and the use of lighting, to bring more interest to my own photographs when exploring urban environments.

The first shot shows the main building that the video has been set. This is an establishing shot, taken from a high angle, showing a man walking through the scene. By using this high angle, the videographer has put emphasis on how small the man is, in comparison to the surrounding building. There is a strong contrast between the light from the sun and the shadows inside the window frames, cast by the crevices in the building.
