Local Tour - 360 stairs
This video is one of my favourites from the group because the way the music collaborates perfectly at the beginning with the establishing shots, by slowly gathering it's pace and rhythm for the main scene in the video.
This section is edited with very fast and snappy shots to make you feel a big burst of excitement and energy and this is maintained by the fast pace of the background song.
There is also a symbolic connection throughout the video by the use of low angles looking up at the building in the beginning, the long hike up the stairwell and the bright white light fade as the video ends and they reach the top. To me this represents connotations to “the stairway to heaven”, low angles used with slow paced music allows the viewers to understand what they are attempting to do clearly as-well as represent how high and what vast scale it is on.
The use of POV shots during the adventures hike puts us in their line of sight and allows us to experience their actions personal experiences.
The bright light at the end just before entering the door has mental connotations of them -reaching heaven's gateway- they could have cut the video to an end when they were on top of the building looking over but it wouldn't give the same feel/effect and would lessen the mental message of the video by making their personal feelings after the hike exposed and not open for question.
