Buddy Holly by Weezer...

We watched the Music Video "Buddy Holly by Weezer"

This music video had no storyline, but had a very strong influence by 'Happy Days', a 1970s hit TV Show that was set in the 50's. By the directer, Spike Jones doing this its gives a nostalgic feel. The music video is set in an American Diner and this is the only setting through out the video.
The main characters in this music video were the band and the audience. The viewer can relate to the audience, if the audience are having a good time therefore the viewer will feel good. The band is there to help sell the music. Also another main character was the man who worked in the Diner, the clever thing about this music video is that the shots of the cast from Happy Days, were never in this music video, they have been edited into it. If you look closely there are parts where you can tell that they aren't really there, but the majority of this video you can't really tell.
Also there is a gap which beaks the conventional music video.
We expect an Indie Rock band to wear skinny jeans and have messy hair, but they are wearing 50's Fasion. By wearing this it shows they have a comical side and it is a real controversial music video. Also by doing this it makes the video more memorable.
The Lyrics don't follow the storyline.
There are plenty of different shots, from medium length shots to close ups, with different camera movements, from pan to shot reverse shot. This makes the video interesting to watch and stops the viewer getting bored of watching the same shot.
