However, as the music video progresses the less lamps are used as the artist begins to carry a a large red neon cross. In addition, this theme is further supported with strobe lighting essentially imitating lightning and thunder.

Throughout the music video, the lighting incorporated is low-key natural lighting with aspects of numerous lamps to make the audience aware of the artist surroundings, although by implementing several lamps into the scenes, a theme of mystery is conveyed through the shadows and area's of darkness constructed. This helps to drive the destructive narrative of the scenes but also provides the music video with continuity rather than an imbalance of any sound effects to the soundtrack. From having these type of locations alongside low-key lighting it helps to portray the narrative of the music video and the theme of mystery.Ĭonsidering the beat is fast and rythmic, the concept of the music video is focused on the beat of the song because instead of including non-diegetic sounds of glass smashing, the performers action is matched to the beat therefore as the glasses smashes, a crash sound is played in the beat. The only lighting seen to be used in these locations would be the lamps around the house, until the artist begins to drive of which then the only lighting is from the vehicle itself but also the street lights in the far distance. Even though the music video is filmed during the night, very little lighting is used thereby they're able to portray as much realism as possible.
