Textual Analysis 3

Artist: The script
Song: The man who can't be moved

We chose this as our second video to do a textual analysis on as it also is a similar genre to the song that we am making our video on, this video is about a man that can not move on from a girl that has left him, it is a performance and narrative video, it starts off with the lead singer of the band walking down a busy street, it does a lot of different shots of him doing this, including long shots and over the shoulder shots. It often cuts back the band singing in what looks like an empty warehouse. As part of the narrative bit of the video, the man is sat down on the corner of a main road, this links with the lyrics of the song. There is also an effect in this part of the video where the camera speeds up to show the night turn into day, this symbolizes how long the man is sat on the corner of the road. There is also another effect the camera man uses where the man is seen on the news as he has been sat therefore so long, the camera turns into a news camera and has the words "breaking news" at the bottom of the screen. Another effect used in the video is when it goes from summer to winter then back to summer, this also symbolizes how long the man has been sat there. The video ends with him sat with a sleeping bag in the same place and the song ends with the lyrics "I’m not gonna move".
