Pop Rock Music Videos

Mcfly - That Girl

 

The video used low key lighting and a dirty garage setting which fits with the style of music well. I liked the comic side of the video, showing Harry trying to get food out of the vending machine without paying money, Danny falling off the tyres and Tom tripping over. Also there is an even mix of narrative and peformance footage throughout which shows that although they are a band, they do still have fun. The performance side of the vidoe highlights the fact that they play their own instruments. The music video narrative fits with the lyrics, in that there is a girl they are all going after and at the end she is with another man.

We The Kings - Check Yes Juliet

 

The music video for this shows a girl with controlling parents who dont like Travis and are trying to keep the couple apart. It is a conventional theme for the parents to not like the lead singer of the band, the idea of them being rebellious and not fitting middle class conventions. There is a lot of low key lighting which is common for pop rock videos. Much like in the McFly video, the band are seen to be performing in a garage, which is stereotypical of pop rock bands.
