This music video is quite unusual however at the same time it is very intriguing. The concept of this music video is very simple. It does not have much movement yet because it has a different concept to it, it is eye catching. The body paint and shapes are not something you see in every music video but this makes the audience question the meaning behind this song.
The opening shot is of the camera going from a black cream surface to a panning shot, starting from his feet all the way up his leg and through to his face. Although if you was to just think of this idea you may think that no one would want to watch this, but it is such a strong opening scene it grips you into it and makes you watch the rest of the video.
His facial expressions are also another aspect that makes the audience want to continue to watch. Likewise the drawing that starts to take place, you feel the need to continue watching the music video to see what it turns out to be.
The editing has been done to the beat of the song. You can tell this because every time a certain beat comes the jump to the wall or body being painted and then they jump back to a shot of him singing.
When Kimbra starts to sing you can really feel her emotion in the song and from Gotye's expression you get really sucked into the video.
I really enjoy how the video ends and I think overall the music video is very good.
