Music Video Analysis 1 - Pierce The Veil's Caraphernelia

Pierce the Veil - Music video analysis:

- Mainly performance based. The video manly consists of shots of the band performing the song, however their is also a narrative running along side.

- Cuts from band performing to a real life performance. This connotes the idea that the band members lives are fairly represented in the music video.

- Collaborations with other bands- Jeremy from A Day To Remember help to increase interest for the video and therefore both bands.
- Shows the bands everyday actions- drinking, recording music etc. Which draws interest from the viewers as it makes it easier to associate with the video.
- Jeremy's screamo represents shouting- anger and conveys an emotional response from the audience.
-Two peoples narratives- split screen talking to girlfriends and arguing. This narrative fits in well with the lyrics and makes the video more interesting for the audience.
- PTV are having a good time whereas Jeremy is arguing with his girlfriend. This again helps the audience associate with the band as they too have relationship problems, this also helps to improve the narrative.
- Raising of 4 glasses together shows unity, helping develop their image as a band.
- Most of the shots are focused on the lead vocalist, Vic. Establishing him as the main role, this is continued via the narrative.
-Final shot is of PTV playing live at a gig, this rounds of the video nicely as it ends with a real life situation.
