30 Seconds To Mars From Yesterday

This is the official Music Video but it was never released to the media to be shown on places like VIVA or 4Music as it was too long.

This is the version which was released to be shown TV channels, etc.


30 Seconds To Mars made this video for From Yesterday in China, it's believed to be the first video from an american band to be made entirely in "The Peoples of republic China", it is filmed inside of a chinese fort/monestry. The video like Foo Fighters Monkey Wrench and Red Hot Chili Peppers Can't Stop, is also Disjunctive. The video has no apparent relation between the lyrics and the video.

Like most music videos of the rock genre this doesn't consist of the male gaze, although there are four girls in the video the shots aren't meant to be in the form of male gaze.

Andrew Goodwin's disjunctive theories have been applied to this music video, as it has  no apparent relation between the lyrics and the shots in the video. The narrative of the video is that it's a Chinese emperors birthday and he requests 30 Seconds To Mars, They are given a gift, which is Chinese warrior armer, they then start to battle with others until it's just those four left. This is where the music and the video finishes.

They don't use special effects as we would normally think of them e.g. bomb explosions etc but they use effects such as subtitles, Fireworks in the Background, Battle scenes.

Editing and Filming
In the music video the large majority of the shots are taken from a motionless position and are transitioned between each different angle/location without there being an obvious transition slide between them. , and I hope it isn't for ours.The editing method used in the music video is called Continuity editing or invisible editing, as this type of editing doesn't draw attention to it from the audience.
