Performance Music Videos and Textual Analysis

Performance based videos tend to show the band or artists mostly performing there song, possibly at a gig or in a studio setting. 


Green Day - American Idiot






Green day's video is clearly based around performance. The video features them performing like they would when playing live at a gigs. The appear to be in just one location, a warehouse type which gives the feel of their genre, punk rock. It features the band playing the instruments with attitude which is typical of this band and this genre. It makes many references to their album which they has out at the time with the grenade. 




These videos are very similar with the locations and being in a warehouse location and having a large background drop. They are also featured having their instruments and playing them like they would if when at a gig. However they bring a bit of narrative in when they have the police intruding which is more creative than green days. They also have attitude just like green day which will also be typical for bands to have attitude.
