Themes / Narratives
Theme / Narrative:
The videos are not based around narratives, their focus is the band performance as they are trying to sell the artist. Although ‘He’s a Rocker’ opens with a mock interview scene with an apparent Vines fan.
The videos are not themed around the lyrics of the songs.
