1. Zebrahead – The
Juggernauts
(9 frame analysis)
By Liam Walker

2. Frame 1 – 00:04
• This is the first actual shot in the video, it
is a long shot of the band with their
instruments, this could be the star image
of the band. The band are arranged with
the two guitarists on the outside, the
two singers in the middle and the
drummer in the back, this could be
because the singers are the main part of
the band so they are in the middle to be
able to been seen and stand out. The
setting is the garage way with a pool
party in the background, pool parties are
very conventional in the pop punk genre.

3. Frame 2 – 00:07
• The next frame is a cut
jump to a close up of
one of the guitarists
playing the guitar, this is
something that is
expected to see in this
type of music video.

4. Frame 3 – 00:18
• There is another jump cut to
a close up of one of the
singer face, he is currently
singing. This could be a use
of the star image with a close
up so everyone can see him
clearly. This is also shown
with the use of the blur in
the background so his face is
much more noticeable which
is what is intented.

5. Frame 4 – 00:46
• In this frame we see two girls
in bikini’s walk across the
screen, the camera follows
them with use of a pan. This is
typical to this sort of the music
video as we expect to see
women not in much clothing
around the band members to
sexualise them. Also it is a
pool party so it is typical
clothing for woman to wear
when swimming.

6. Frame 5 – 01:49
• In this frame we see a long shot
of some people in the pool
enjoying the party with a beach
ball. The pool is a conventional
setting for the pop punk genre
and so are pool parties. The
women are not wearing much
which is conventional more
towards the pop part of the pop
punk name, this sexualises
women and appeals to the
younger men which is the target
audience of the genre.

7. Frame 6 – 02:17
•We see a long shot of the
entire setting, both the band
and the party going on
behind them. The entire
setting is a happy scene
although the lyrics discuss
how times are different for
the worse for punk and pop
punk bands.

8. Frame 7 – 02:43
• We see a cut jump to a medium close
up of the singer underneath the water
singing, this is conventional as I have
seen this done a few times. Although it
is not so visible in the picture there is
am almost fish eye effect which could
be to show that his is underwater and
also to centre the singer so he stands
out, there is also a slight blur around
him to make him stand out more.

9. Frame 8 – 02:47
• In this frame we see the
start of lots of little cut
jumps done very quickly
to show all the band
members jump in to the
pool with their
instruments. This fits in
with the genre of being
different and standing
out as it is not normal to
jump into a pool and
play instruments.

10. Frame 9 – 03:58
• This is the last shot in the video, it is a
long shot of three girls; once again in
bikini’s suggesting that they are being
sexualised to appeal to the audience,
jumping in to a pool. They are in the
centre of the screen so they are meant
to be noticed and looked at. At this
point in the song the last few notes are
being played of the outro. In the
background and to the sides we see
men smiling while looking at them
which once again suggests the women
are dressed like this to be sexualised.
