Beastie Boys- Sabotage:
Camera:
Close ups of the band/ actors as cops and criminals
Long shots to show location (tracking)
Low angles to show running down stairs and jumping over buildings
Extreme close ups of criminals face when he sees cops
Crash Zooms into faces and also into cars and action on the beat
Edit:
Action matches between cops and criminals
Jump Cuts between cops chasing and others arriving
MES:
Costume- stereotypical US cop uniform, Big moustache and mirror shades
Props- Cop cars, bags of drugs, money, coffee cups (80's cop TV drama)
Location- Suburb streets of a big city (LA), apartments (similar to 80's cop drama locations)
Weezer- Buddy Holly
Camera:
Close ups of band (convention of rock genre)
Long shots of the band and set to set scene
Mid shots of the "Happy Days" cast in the diner
Edit:
Cut halfway through to an "ad" break as the show would on TV
MES:
Location- Arnolds Diner (Happy Days set)
Costume- Shirt, tie and cream pullover (house band)/ cast in character costume
Props- diner props (menu's, glasses, jukebox etc)
Personal opinion- I think Spike Jonze is a great director who used his experience with Jackass and on skate videos to obtain the maximum for the Sabotage video. I also think that his professional experience with TV shows helped him to make Buddy Holly video look so natural in the Happy Days environment and also influence the Happy Days cast to being in the music video.
