This music video is a concept video as there are no direct connections to the lyrics. It is a rather random / unpredictable music video with huge amount of humour. We see the band members doing different things throughout such as running down a beach naked, dancing in a studio etc.
There is a huge amount of performance within this music video. However it is not a convincing performance as it doesn't look like a genuine live performance as the audience and stood behind the band We see the band performing and lip synching in different locations wearing different clothing. Due to the band members starring in this music video there is star treatment involved. Most shots in the video include at least one of the band members. Star treatment and large glimpses of performance is a characteristic for this genre (rock). There is an audience in the video which is again another characteristic of this genre. Although most bands have little direct physical contact with their fans, its vital to create a sense of personal engagement, and representing fans within a video can be a useful means of signifying this.The audience are positioned differently to an actual concert. They appear behind the band, wear bizarre clothes and generally create a more fun, humorous vibe for the video.
In terms of mode of address we see the band members making continuous eye contact with the camera throughout. The band appear on a beach throughout the video and the video changes to black and white. Music videos that are black and white and involve luxurious white beaches usually are boy band music videos. So the band could be humorously imitating a boy bands video. This is an example of intertextuality.
