This is the song Learn to Fly by Foo Fighters of there album There is nothing left to lose that was releasedin 1999. Learn to fly is one of the Foo Fighters biggest songs since they formed the band in 1994.

The songs genre according to Wikipedia is Alternative rock/ post grunge.

In this video the main all the characters are just the same 3 people in costume (Fat suits, dressed as the different sex, the pilots of the plain and a few more). so there is a large element of comedy in this video.

The name of the song learn to fly is shown in the narrative of the video that is on a plain. in the video everyone one on the plain is drugged from coffee show at 0:20 seconds and 1:44 and 1:55.

Unlike quite a few music videos the hole band a featured in the video in most pop songs it will just be the front person who will get all the attention.

There are a good variation of shots in this video they do tend to use the rule of thirds a lot and frame the shots so that the actors have lots of looking space so that you can see the action. the looking space is normally given to the front man Dave Grohl even though the video is about the band they normally do focus on the front man. The editing hasn't had anything extravagant done to it but it has been done very well. In the scene where the plane staff is flying outside the cot pit is done very well, also the continuity of using the same actors as different charters is almost floor less.

There is a opening narrative at the start of the video that helps explain the hole story line. The performance element of this video graduates though out, it starts off as just a movie on a plain at 1:16 then the shots gradually get closer to the movie screen and eventually at 2:55 there are full shots of the performance on stage. On the performance shots the camera is constantly moving around this is partly to keep the performers in shot but it also creates atmosphere.

The video finally starts to close with the band members taking control of the plain because of the pilots and crew are high and they land safely but roughly. Then the narrative that was at the start finishes the movie.
