Titanium music video notes when watching

Titanium -
At the beginning before the singing starts during the music we see lots of close up shots of someones hands and scattered papers all over the floor. once the signing starts the shot changes to a long shot where we see a boy sat in a messed up school hallway, the long shot helps to show the damage done in the school after that we have a few longer length mid shots following the boy leaving the school. when the beat gets faster we get lots of quick succession shots close up of the boy riding his bike very fast which creates a sense of panic and speed. The setting and props are important in this video to show the story. The setting clearly shows him at school, walking out of school, going home, at his home and then in a forest. The props then help to bring it all together, the scattered papers at school and emptiness of the school show that something has clearly happened there and it has to do with the boy, the tv at his house is an important prop because it indicates to the audience that the boy has supernatural powers, this gets reinforced later hen the use of his teddy bears had special effects put on to make it look like they are floating. The people hunting him in the forest are clearly soldiers because of the costume and when we get a close up of one of their faces he is wearing an army helmet. The young boy is wearing an normal outfit and one that shows his youth. The lighting feels very natural at the begining to he is home once he is in the forest and its dark their is lots of high key lightiing in the background from torches which makes a more intimidating feel because you know he young boy is being tracked down by people.The editing is soemtimes in time with the music like when he steps on a twig in the forest it happens in exact time with the beat. They also sped up when he was cycling to make it look like he was cycling faster. It reminds me of stranger things
