Warpaint - Stars [Shot Count]



This video also has around 100 shots, which is still a small amount as the video is over six and a half minutes long. The hypnotic vocals merge well with the soft psychedelic shots of fireworks, which are edited to be backwards to give hallucinogenic feel to the video. Most videos from this genre are essentially experimental and 'trippy', and the intimate nature of this video engulfs the audience in the haunting storyline. Most of the video is set in the woods, with the band (who are all girls) frolicking between skeletal trees, wearing all white. At around 5:40 the shots speed up, and there are about 60 split-second shots in the space of around 30 seconds. This is complimented by heavy bass, and creates a powerful climax at the end of the video.
