2. Shots of the band are an important code and
convention. This is because it allows the fans to
connect with the band they like, therefore in the first
section it shows all members of the band close up, so
that when the viewer watches the video they are
shown the band they like from the offset connecting
them with the song and the music video.

7. Performance shots are a key code and convention as it
allows the viewer to see the band playing the song they
are hearing. This performance shot in my video is
important as it takes the performance and changes the
setting to something completely unique so the viewer
when watching the music video is exposed to a
complete new side of the band and the song

9. My Music video also follows codes and conventions of
narrative. The narrative is important as it breaks up the
performance shots as well as taking the viewer on a
journey through a story that ties in with the song. In my
narrative I show one of the band members dying from a
drug overdose, at his funeral the band members join
together and he is resurrected and spends one final
night with band and friends before returning the the
same spot being immersed back into the funeral and
laying the rest again. This narrative is also important as
it gives the song a meaning and a gravitas
