Initial Music Video 2: The Xcerts - Young (Belane)


The fast pace and jump cuts within this music video clearly reflect the upbeat genre of the music, and also reflecting the title of the song, "Young", as young people are seen as energetic. The storyline within the video is hard to follow at the beginning, becoming more clear near the middle of the video. Although I initially found this confusing, I felt this added to the interest of the music video as I was intrigued to find out what was happening.

    Again link to Goodwin and media language of music videos; lots of close ups of the artist/artists with cultural signifiers frontier life in USA, rocking chairs, forest and suggestion of army. Also some homoerotic shots.

    Also a copy of Catcher in the Rye is a strong cultural (USA) signifier and is an iconic novel which had a huge influence on young people in the 1950's and 60's...google the novel and you may make some useful connections to the music video. Also the is a great novel to read, I only caught up with it about 3 years ago and couldn't put it down.
