Learn to Fly music video

Learn To Fly Music Video

Learn to Fly is a song from the Foo Fighters and their record label is Capitol Records. The music video was directed by Jesse Peretz and it won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video.
 I can't tell who the target audience is but I think the video would appeal to lots of people because the story is good.
The music video is set on a commercial airplane where two mechanics put something strange in the coffee. During the flight most people drink the coffee including the pilot. The coffee then makes everyone who drinks it act very strange. The members of the band, who are on the plane, have to land the plane as they were the only people who didn't drink the coffee. When they land the plane the mechanics are arrested. The story follows what Tzvetan Todorov's theory.
At the start of the video there are midshots and bodyshots to set the scene but later in the music video there are more close ups to show in more detail what is happening. When the video gets less tense there are less close ups.
In the video the members of the band dress up in different costumes to be the different characters.
The video is successful because the video has a great storyline that fits with the song.
