NVC on Crystal Castles Baptism Music Video

The use of Non-Verbal Communication;

Costume; a casual black t-shirt on the girl and the drummer who is the male part of the duo is masked, which is visually interesting but it reveals little of him but he does appear to wear a leather jacket and hoodie underneath. There is no change from what they're wearing and no camera direction at costumes either, again supporting their blase feel towards fashion.

Eye contact; half the shots the female singer Alice does not look at the lens but in the other half she does but it's got a lot of effects and fast editing makes it hard to see straight into her eyes. Creating the mysterious appeal to the band.

Posture; the postures stays the same throughout from both performers upright either dancing or on the drums. The lack of different positions does get a bit tedious after a while.

Gestures; the singer head bangs and jumps, the gestures of a performer quite into the music herself. The only slight efforts at a gesture are at a point when she puts both her hands on her head and swings her head around.

Facial Expressions; She has an agape mouth when not singing but her face remains at a constant throughout.

Space (use of space in location - distance of performers to camera.) The camera remains on close ups and sometimes extreme close ups of the female and the male has extreme close ups (within the mask) and mid shots on the drums.

This video again does not meet all of the non- verbal communication conventions but meets a few to engage us and their mysterious ways seem to appeal to the audience anyway. Every little change of gesture we see as we are constantly craving to want to know more.
