This video has a cool narrative as it involves two kings, 'the mountain and the sea' which links to the lyrics "I am the mountain, I am the sea", sitting on a throne next to chess board. When they move a piece on the chess board, their warriors move with them and then begin fighting each other in a setting that vaguely resembles a chess board with the black and white flooring. The narrative ends with the mountain's warrior winning, the sea taking off his hat, resembling a crown, and both kings walking into the middle of the board to sing at each other, signifying check mate.
The camerawork, editing and performance is conventional as there are straight cuts, mid shots, close up of instruments and faces, long shots and the band is playing their instruments so it looks like they are playing live.
The mise-en-scene fits in with the narrative as there are warrior and king costumes , the location looks a bit like a chess board, the props are a chess board, thrones, weapons and the lighting is artificial as they are inside.
During the performance the mise-en-scene is fairly conventional with the artificial lighitng, similar location as narrative, casual clothes and instruments.
