Wheatus- Teenage Dirtbag
The linear narrative (illustration) side of the video follows a boy that has a crush on a girl however, he can't have her because of her boyfriend that bullies him, after a while the girl realises her boyfriend is horrible and invites the antagonist to a concert.
The performance has the band in a school hall.
Camerawork
They use camera work to show as much of the scene off as possible, this is so you can see all of the stereotypical college, with the crowded corridors and stairwells. Wheatus effectively uses this to show storyline easier
Sound
The sound is predominately non-diegetic but when the girl approaches him at the end of the song her voice is heard by the song and the main character.
Mis-en-scene
Fits the school setting very well, the clothing is typical american-student wardrobe and you can clearly tell the different groups: jocks,geeks etc
Editing
Uses straight cuts for all of the video, the editing is very slow paced.
Avril Lavigne - sk8er boi
There is linear narrative elements in sk8er boi however, this is mostly just to go along with the performance montage.
Camerawork
The camerawork is documentary-style, there is handheld camerawork and varied shot types.
Sound
Diegetic sounds at beginning and end to help establish the setting
Mise-en-scene
Everything in this video has stereotypical punk vibes,the setting is urban, the costumes are scruffy and dark, the video follows the characters through abandoned buildings and it culminates to avril performing on top of a car and the police arrives.
Editing
fast paced, and the colour is de-saturated to add to the punk vibes of this song.
