The second video we analysed was group 13P1-01 covering Butch Walker - Too famous to get dressed.
Firstly, the lyrics and visuals are very amplified with many examples where the lryics portray something that is on screen. For example there is a lyric in the song where something is mentioned about a table and a picture of a table that is later used in the film flashes in the bottom corner. Lyrics are also written on pieces of paper held up by random people. This works very well.
The music and visuals are also very amplified with shots cut in time to the beat of the music, appearing in different corners of the screen. This is very well executed through precise editing and definite cuts. The footage also fits the music very well as the song is very 'fast-paced' so is the video, using qucik cuts to enforce this message.
The genre of this music is rock, the characteristics of rock genre videos are usually to use performance footage. Although it is not a full performance, the video matches this characteristic as there is performance seen throughout the video.
There are many shots of the artist throughout the video because not only is he the lead in the performance, but he is also the main character is story that runs alongside the performance.
The only references to voyeurism that i can take from this video come at the beginning and at the end of the video. They are both seens where the main character is being watched doing something but not directly addressing the camera.
There are no intertextual references in this video that I can make out, although the lead singers performance may resemble an attitude that could've been adopted from other artists perfromance.
