Muse neutron star collision
Lighting

The lighting at the start of the video coincides with the piano chords played, because blue is a very vibrant colour and is very light, in this clip it is associated with the major (happy) chords played on the piano and the red being a colour associated with love passion and death, the red is put on the minor (sad/deathly) chords, these colours also combine with the lyrics, that are already about love and passion and death but also has the up side (joyful side).
The light at the start of the video is shown from behind the man playing piano which distorts our perception of him by not being able to see him very well giving and element of mystery to this person making us wonder who he is, and the lights being in the back ground are depicting his emotions without us seeing his face
Because this song/video was made for the twilight eclipse film the lights also depict the element of twilight by being like a heavenly light to travel towards to light a twilight.
Camera angles/shots/editing
The angles tend to stay below the band members in this clip to show that they are powerful and in control, because the words they are singing are very powerful, there are some close up shots of the singers hands playing piano which cross-fades with the mid shot of him playing piano
The shots in this clip as I have said with the other analysis’s, when the music is slow and solemn the rate of change in the shots are slow but when it gets to the intro chorus the rate of shot change is fast to fit with the pase of the music
