The Killers - 'Human'

The video starts off with a close up of cables on the sand. We are then shown the ‘K’ lights (the band’s symbol). Once the lights are on, the song begins.
The video is set in the desert or sand dunes. The cables are on the floor leading to the bad set up: speakers, lights, instruments etc... It is very performance based.
There are Medium Close ups of the singer and the drummer when it is his solo. Arial shots show the audience the odd location and the camera often pans around the band as they play.
Edits are a simple fade/ overlay, they don’t seem to be in time with the beat but go back to the lead singer for the chorus.
We are shown clips of wild animals, some of which do not seem to link in with the surrounding; the white tiger. Perhaps this is connected to the fact the band doesn’t link in either or that the video doesn’t really seem to have much to do with the lyrics. The singer is wearing a jacket with a feather collar, is this done purposely to tie in with the Eagle which is flying over head?
