Always - Architects, Video deconstruction

I have been deconstructing the Architects video for "Always" off of their 2007 album "Ruin" (Century Media). This deconstruction will be split into 3 separate posts. This one (general information), a post on Narrative and a post on Performance.

Here is the video;


Frame rate : 30fps
Length : 04;12;00
Narrative : 01;25;18 (around 30-35%)
Performance : 02;44;26 (around 65-70%)
Total Cuts : 335 of which 112 are Narrative and 223 are Performance

8 different performance shots
22 different narrative shots

  1. There is never more than 1 narrative shot in a row.
  2. The vocalist is shown for 01;40;13, which is more than the entire narrative put together.
  3. The guitarists together don't even merit 30 seconds of video.
  4. The drummer is the only band member with more than one shot of him adding up to a total of around 35 seconds of screen time.
