The Thespian by Alesana

The music video The Thespian by Alesana has narrative and performance scenes in it. It starts out with narration, where someone says "I am here to tell you a story..." which shows how the band wanted to emphasize the storyline in the video. It has an overall creepy and mysterious mood, which goes along with the song. The whole video is in black and white and kind of looks like is old film. The visual affects are supposed to make the video look scarier, and the black and white really shows the contrast between good and evil. The girl in the video is the lightest shade of white, which gives her a ghostly affect. This is my favorite music video I've seen, and I also think it is one of the most well made ones.
Yes. Everything your describing is the design of the video. Also pay attention to the amount of shots they are using and the cutting style. It is always very fast with the band and it matches the rhythm of the music.
