Music Video Analysis (2)



The music Video Presents a very rugged hand made quality. This appears to be a device used to reflect how the artist feels about his music, being self produced and self released. This in itself can be viewed as an expression of star image.

The video uses a base track to refer back to which involves the artist singing to himself in front of a DIY background. This says to the audience that he's a un-superficial character and that he's letting us as an audience take a peek into his personal life through personal home recorded candid footage, as well as through the the lyrics of the song.


There is no particular cohesive narrative that can be followed, only returning to and fro certain clips that the artist himself recorded and decided to include into the video. The lyrics are amplified as the artist gives a very true performance of the song in a karaoke kind of style.The song itself gives off a very positive vibe which is amplified by visuals of the artist hanging out and having a good time with friends and fellow band members rehearsing. The cutting order seems to be very random and doesn't necessarily cut in tike with the song which gives the video a very rustic feel. 

Goodwin would suggest that this is a somewhat studio performance which includes different amplification elements which enhance certain aspects of the song.
