Representation The Script are represented as a group that have a large following all across the world as this music video is set in Johannesburg, South Africa. This presents them as a world famous band as they were able to play their music in a different country and still were able to gather a large crowd to enjoy their music. This also shows that they like to play their music across the world as picking to set their music video in a country like South Africa is not that common with other famous bands. In the music video we get to see The Script perform a guerrilla gig which represents them as a band with a lot of talents as we get to see them playing all their different instruments.

Video Style The style of the video is in a guerrilla gig style as they have decided to chose a random location and have set up their equipment and started to perform in a location that isn’t designed to accommodate live music in front of a crowd. It is also like a performance video as we get to see the instruments getting played and the band playing together.
