Analysis of similar media productions - All American Rejects - Dirty Little Secret

The All American Rejects music video has much in common with Goodwin and Archer's theory behind music videos, there are some screen shots that conform with the theory. I looked into other video that fall under the Pop Punk genre to gain inspiration for my own music video, I have observed many narrative and band performances in the videos also the idea that there is a burst of energy and is very chaotic while performing similar to that of the rock genre. Furthermore, there is always a sense of star image in the video due to the various camera shots such as close ups and many canted angles which expresses clearly the impressions of the artist whether happy or sad.

Both theorist Goodwin and Archer mention that there should be a direct link with the music video and lyrics, in the music video 'Dirty Little Secret's' the storyline is evident as there are various secrets being showed in the video and mostly throughout it too, which complies with the theory. It also demonstrates the characteristics of a Pop Punk genre as there is a performing rock band, fast paced editing similar to that of the Rock genre, it is also quiet energetic and chaotic. 

Furthermore both Andrew and Archer, stated that due to the demand of record labels, there should be close ups of the artist and the band where ever possible in order to gain recognition for their music. There are many close up shots of the main vocalist and the band itself, this has inspired me to make sure that there are many close up shots of the vocalist if we choose to do a performance video.
