Klonhertz - 'Three Girl Rhumba' Video by Dougal Wilson
The video starts with a shot of a magazine about how to create a 'cut-and-assemble model' pop video. There is then a jump cut into read the title of the magazine. A human hand opens the page and the singer starts as the shot zooms into the models. The models start to assemble themselves and the viewer sees the video will be abstract and unconventional. Even though the video uses puppets there is still the performance aspect. The shots also use editing on the beat when the fingers move, as the paper puppets perform the music and the lights also flash to the beat. There are a lot of shots that quickly zoom into another shot like at the part where the singers head keeps opening and the shot zooms into each head. The scissors also cut to the beat as they chase the paper aeroplane. The mise-en-scene of the world they're in is all made out of paper to keep the idea of a cut-and-assemble model of a pop video, also as numbers are mentioned a lot in the song there are numbers in the background. When the singer divides by 2 there is a 2 and other numbers behind him; also when the hurricane warning there are numbers flying around. As the paper plane crashes at the end the models all fall back into the magazine and the hand closes the page with the beat so the story ends where it started.
