+ Music videos demonstrate genre characteristics (e.g. stage performance in metal video, dance routine for boy/girl band).
There is no dance routine but it is genre specific with bright colours.+ There is a relationship between lyrics and visuals (either illustrative, amplifying, contradicting).
There is a vague link of the nerd needing to 'stop complaining'
+ There is a relationship between music and visuals (either illustrative, amplifying, contradicting).
There is a link between these so it is illustrative with the pace of the song matching the visuals
+ The demands of the record label will include the need for lots of close ups of the artist and the artist may develop motifs which recur across their work (a visual style).
There are lots of close ups and shots of the artist so there is a strong link of need to sell the artist. So there was a visual style of the nerd throughout.
+ There is frequently reference to notion of looking (screens within screens, telescopes, etc) and particularly voyeuristic treatment of the female body.
There isn't any notions of looking apart from the looking through the window and watching the nerd work in the classroom.
+ There is often intertextual reference (to films, tv programmes, other music videos etc).
There isn't really any interxtual reference but I feel as if this works due to the fact it looks unique and bold because of this.
Overall I think this video works well with the narrative they have chose and the use of bright colours and the variety of shots.
