'House of the Rising Sun'- analysis

In the first lesson, we watched the music video the song 'House of the Rising Sun' by The Animals. It was made in 1964 and so the obvious reasoning for the transitions is the lack of technology. Also, the transitions were slow which reflected the slow beat of the song, and the close up shots allowed the audience to see the members of the band in more detail. There was also a pan shot which established the scene the music video was set in, and was used before the music started to prepare the audience that the music was about to start. The band were lip syncing, and it was effective because it looked as though they weren't- the instruments also made it seem like they weren't.
