Catfish And The Bottlemen - Cocoon - Shot Count

In this 4:04 long video by Catfish and the Bottlemen (an alternative rock band) for their debut single "Cocoon" I counted 149 shots. The pace of the edits differ throughout the video, at the start during the heavy guitar introduction just one shot is used to show a doctor opening a door, as soon as the first lyric is sung the shots start to increase in speed and each shot establishes which people are going to be featured throughout the video. The pace then slows back down once the protagonist and his love interest are shown because the slow paced edits tell the narrative of the video but the pace speeds up again once the narrative peaks before abruptly slowing down similar to the start of the video. Throughout the video, close ups are mainly used by the director to show the characters facial expressions to express feelings and two shots are also used a lot to display the protagonist and his love interest together.
