This document provides an analysis of two music videos. It notes that both videos have a 50/50 split between narrative and musical performance. Various technical elements are discussed like continuity editing, tracking shots, and close-ups of the artists. The first video takes place at a beach/bar with bright lights and casual clothing. It has an upbeat style that matches the lyrics. The second is set in a town bar with a bright stage but darker narrative. It shows a disjuncture between the upbeat music and less upbeat visuals without lyrics matching the story.
