As Drew Russ directs band music videos, it shows a live

performance from the band.

He usually has some sort of narrative in his music videos (like

a story) where there’s characters and there is always

something going on in the music video rather than just being

a live performance. For example, the song “A Love Like War”

shows the band in a cinema. And the song “King For A Day”

shows the band in an office which has a different start at the

beginning.

He uses fast pace editing which therefore goes with the beat

of the song as it’s heavy music and gets the viewer confused

with what is going on but makes it seem more interesting.

Drew Russ has used a retro red tinted look to his music

videos. This reflects the mood and narrative.
