Bowling For Soup - High School Never Ends


                               Bowling for soup - High School Never Ends

The music video apart from the setting is the kind of angle we are going for from shots cutting to band to acting out scenes. The low angle shots and the pans show how the band have grown up from the beginning, making them seem bigger. The pan shots emphasise how they have fit into the stereotypical pop-punk genre, and shows them falling out of their Volkswagen Type 2, beer cans falling out with them.

The music video also emphasises on the lyrics, showing the grown-ups, how they bullied the band members when they were in high school, and how the band members got their comeuppance.

Papa Roach Last Resort - Star analysis



This is Last Resort by Papa Roach. This music video shows many examples
of camera work and is also the song we are choosing for our work. The song
shows fan members in the crowd, and the scene is set in what appears to be a boxing ring.

Album/Advert Examples



Album/Advert Examples 

This Album is from fall out boy the album is a greatest hits which is called believers never die. How that title sits consistently with the album is the fact that there are to skeletons next to one another hugging. This could be on about the image of love or the fact that it might be a message to there fans saying there music will never, as there is a guitar in the corner of the image.




This Fall Out Boy poster is to promote the release of there latest come back album. It says "Saving  Rock and Roll". The image presented behind the text shows 4 rockers who back in the world of music which could be why it's in black and white as that's considered an old effect. Contrasted with the yellow which is quite a strong new vibrant color.

Digi Pak Example

Initial idea

Initial idea 

We are possibly looking at going using a song by a band called "Papa roach called last resort". This is because one of the members of our group is in a band and it would be easy to you live band shots like the ones seen in this music video.
