Damien Rice - 9 Crimes

I really like this video, i think it has a good concept and tells a moving story from beginning to end. I like all the different camera shots - i like how it begins with the a close up of Lisa Hannigan's face, and ends with a close up of her face in pieces, a long with the close ups of when he is trying to grab the bit of string she is attached to. Also the long shots on the middle of the video, where you can see him taking her by the string and walking her down the street. The setting at the beginning gets you intruiged, and it fits perfectly with the lyrics of the song 'leave me out with the waste' which sets you up for the rest of the song. I think my main attraction is the fact that Lisa Hannigan's head is floating throughout most of the video on a piece of string like a helium balloon, and i think the editing for get this effect is really well done, and the editing at the end of the video when her face gets broken into pieces, and you see close ups of the parts of her face left lying on the floor. This video is very gripping, and the performance that the two put on is very touching, and keeps the viewers attention throughout the video.
