Music Video Genre Task (Video 4)

Mcfly 'Sorry's not good enough' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAB0He7qqqE


Conventions:
This is a narrative based music video focusing on the break down of relationships. This music video is also performance based aswell. There are frequent cutaways from performance-to-narrative and then back again. The image of the artists is important. The lead singer/s are involved the most in this music video with band supporting but appearing in the narrative sequences.
Goodwin's Rules:
There are a good range of different close-ups on the two mains artists and the girl which the music video is based on. The music video demonstrates the characteristics of the genre of pop/rock through some dancing, movement and action that takes place.
Textual Analysis:
The lyrics and visuals strongly link together as does the music and visuals. I feel the music video is half performance based and half narrative based when analysed.
