People in the rock world pride themselves on not being like people from the hip hop world and not degrading women etc. but LOOK AT THIS. The man, in the same scene, is fully dressed but the woman has to be in skimpy shorts and a top that shows off some mid-riff, equality at its finest /rant..

In the world of being cheated on, PHONES ARE THE DEVIL. They are used in videos to show a mystery person on the other end to imply secrecy.

We use a phone in our video for the same purpose.

This low angled, long shot makes it look like the person behind the camera is hiding behind the camera, as if they are secretly watching him. This suits the theme of the song, as it is about secrecy and sneaking around and hiding things.

Nice T-Rex arm, Austin.

The greyscale effect makes the flashbacks stand out from the rest of the video so we know they are in a different timeframe to the rest of the video.

The flashbacks are effective in establishing the narrative of a song, that of a man contemplating cheating with an ex-girlfriend. They also give an insight into the character’s mind and try to justify his decisions, as the flashbacks are positive memories.

• This is a convention of nearly every genre of music video.

• As it will be our ‘band’s’ first music video, we will need to performance element to show who we actually are, so we will become recognisable and thus more famous (if we were a real band).

The close up of the guitar is a convention of rock videos. This demonstrates that they can actually play instruments, which is something important in the rock music world.

The close up of the guitar, rather than the guitarist, inferring that the music is more important than the person playing it.

• The convention of pop musicians generally is that they do not play their own instruments, so there are no close ups of their instruments in the videos.

• We are going to conform to the pop music video, because our song is a pop song, not a rock song.

No instruments. But you can see that.
