Kasabian - Fire
Kasaian - Fire: is an interesting music video as it breaks conventions of the indie genre, usualy there would be performance shots intersperse, however in this video it is vey much so narative based. This video has evidence of one of Barthes narrative codes , of that being the enigma code, as to why are the guns guitars and the money as music notes. It is cleverly used and makes it stand up to repeatability. What is interesting about this video is the concept and how in it breaking conventions it makes it stand out more
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Callifornication
In this video it is evdient of the hegemonic masculinity that is portrayed in the video, the first indexical sign is that it is set as a video game and has that play on that life is a game. The second sign is that all the singers are topless and portrays the star image of the band as abit rebelious.
Hoosiers - Goodbye Mr. A.
This video much like the red hot chili peppers, portrays the singers as super heroes. Richard Dyer's star meta narrative is also portrayed by evidence of paradox 1 as the stars are simultaneously ordinary by being non super heroes at the start of the video and kidnapping the current super hero, then also being extra ordinary at the same time by turning into the super heroes.
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars
The video has a very low-fi authentic feel about it which helps connects to the audience, also I really like the establishing shot of it looking at the city as it slowly pans down and a quick time lapse goes from day to night which i think would be very effective in our own music video.
The Killers - Human
I like this video due to the effects it uses it helps make the performance based video more interesting with use of a few interesting shots aswell such as the shot of the falcon which is intercut at the start. There are aurual signifiers which link the lyrics to the visuals however create more indepth meaning.
