Analysis of Two Videos

This video represents a range of performance aspects from the very beginning of the sequence; using the whole band in the shot, whereas compared to 'my Immortal' they started the video with simple shots of the band - who were all separated in different shots connoting a disruption has happened and an equilibrium needs to happen for the band to resolve into one shot again!


The 'my immortal' video is mainly all performance, with narrative tied in with the way that the lyrics fit with the shots of the band playing their instruments. Compared to 'Famous Last Words' which is all performance, with no narrative at all other than it has followed on from their video before which was 'Welcome to the Black Parade.


Due to My Chemical Romance using the same costumes, settings and lighting from their video 'Welcome to the Black Parade' they are using the cultural code, as fans of that band will recognize these factors of their earlier videos.
