This isn't really an analysis, just an idea. This music video by The Killers doesn't really make sense when you first watch it. However, YouTube comments reveal that the video is not actually in order. At the beginning of each scene of the video, a woman is seen holding up a number. These represent the order in which the events take place. By watching it in this order, it reveals a story of a man (the vocalist) who get's caught cheating on his wife. When in the shower, falls and bumps his head. He then has a dream that he is in a band of cowboys who have a fight over the Killersluts sign. It's a bit random, but its an interesting idea. Anyway, I thought that I could do something similar with my video. For example, there could be a scene of the police catching the 'psycho killer' at the beginning and a scene where he actually kills someone at the end. This would create mystery throughout the video and encourage viewers to watch on to figure out why the character is a 'psycho killer'. The cryptic way in which this video is put together also creates repeatability of the product as you have to watch it numerous times to understand it.
