Paramore- Misery Business:
In this video the story line revolves around an antagonistic female and a number protagonists including the band the music video is for, it implies four of of the five stages of a narrative and shows three of these, disruption, attempt to repair and new equilibrium.
The video is mostly set in a stereotypical American high school as well as a studio for the performance elements of the music video.
the majority of the transitions used are fast paced cuts which makes the video more energetic which links with the energetic perfromance as well as the narrative of the video.
In this video there are very few steroptyical represetations, this is because woman are seen as the main antagonist and protagonist in the video. However, at the same time there are some sterotypicalrepresentation as women are seen as a vitim in this video, the main antagonist is a sterotypical type of woman, she is seen as very promiscuous and thinks overly highly of herself.
This video has around 300 cuts as it is a very fasted paced video.
Panic! At The Dicso- But its Better if You Do:
In this video follows the story of 50's couple where the male goes to an 'illegal' strip club and falls for one of the dancers who turns out to be his wife.
It is mostly set in a 50's burlesque club but is also set in a 50's apartment.
there are a number of close ups of the band featured in the video as well as a number of long shots and tracking shots of other characters in the piece, there are also a number of tilts on female daners in this video, as it reminds the audience of the type of setting the video in is as well as attracting males to watch the video.
most of the transitions used are cuts, this is because it speeds up the story line abd matches the energetic side of the storyline. In this video men are representation in a stereotpical powerful manner. This is known because all the men are in suits while the women are dancing in underwear. The video shows that these men view women as objects rather than people. Also they are doing things they know are wrong, this is known because they are all wearing masks to hide there true identity.
This video has around 130 cuts which fits with the speed of the song.
Biffy Clyro- Biblical:
In this music video we follow the main character ( the lead singer of the band) through a short story that is repeted three times but changed slightly every time to fit with the changing lyrics of the song but inkeeping with the theme of the lyrics which is starting over.
The video is setting in a hotel and surrounding areas in an urban America setting. it is unclear as to why it is set in the hotel at it doesnt seem to link with the storyline of the song.
A number of shots are use such as tracking shots when the main character is walking as well as a number of close ups on him and important object to allow the audience of the video to follow the story.
The majority of transitions used in this music video are cuts (around 100), this is because the cuts moves the narrative along, however the cuts aren't fast because it would not match the speed of the song.
