The song is a has a slow pace ? conventional being part of the indie-rock genre of music. The pace of the editing and transitions is consistent throughout the music video, which may be a representation of how nothing seems to change when it comes to society accepting homosexuality and freedom of love.

The music video is cut to the beat, which helps fit the visuals to the pace of the song, and makes the music video as a whole more rhythmic and aesthetic. Stylistically edited in black and white, reflecting the tragic and downbeat visuals, the music video helps to establish the atmosphere of the song and may represent how some people see the world as black and white, plain and emotionless ? refusing to accept some ways of life, such as sexuality other than heterosexuality. The music video doesn?t feature any artists singing or playing instruments, so therefore it isn?t a performance, however it offers an interpretive story for active audiences to analyse. The video follows conventions by addressing the controversial issue of attacks lead on homosexuals, and was filmed as a response to Russia?s antipathy towards homosexuality and gender variance.įeaturing scenes of strong violence that aren’t made explicitly visual ? cuts and close-ups don’t allow the audience a full view of the scenes ? the video encouraging the audience to identify the presence of violence, sympathise for the characters, and realise the wrongs of discriminating against freedom of sexuality.

The purpose of this music video is to inform the audience of homosexuality and discrimination? an issue that is still unresolved in many parts of the world. The music video for ?Take Me To Church,? a song by Hozier, features a narrative based on the Catholic Church?s discrimination against homosexuality.
