I found the music video to be just as good because of the relationship of lyrics and visuals (Goodwin). Bastille decided to use a detective to portray the narrative by using the phrase 'rhythm of the night' to represent his work routine in the evening (one dead body after another). I thought this was a really good interpretation of the lyrics they wrote, as I thought it might be about teenagers staying up late and partying etc.
There was use of diegetic sound, as the onlookers of the first crime scene could hear the music and were rocking to the beat which makes it synchronous also.
I also thought that the fact that the detective couldn't hear the music (the onlookers could) and his puzzled look, was a good choice, as it was enigmatic and helped shape my views on why he was the only one who couldn't hear the music too.
Another good thing about the music video was that the corpses began to lip sync to the song, which related to what Mr Coppard taught us to do in one of our lessons (be in time with the song).
However, although it was a really good music video, I predicted that the detective would kill himself because he couldn't deal with the fact that the corpses were becoming animated but despite that I didn't find it annoying that he did so, I just wanted to see what his death would look like.
In terms of our music video, towards the end of the song, there will be diegetic sound as the female protagonist is singing to her audience, so they will hear the music. The music at the beginning will be non-diegetic because the two characters won't hear it, but their actions will be synchronised with the song.
However, the song did actually get bad reviews because of the combination of two 90's songs.
