Instead of choosing another 'hard rock' music video to look at, I thought it would be good to explore a range of sub-genres, but sub-genres that still come under 'rock'.
I have therefore chosen to view Sum 41's 'Fat Lip'. This punk rock single conforms to Goodwin's theory in the respect that they do not wish to behave in the manner that society dictates, and this is clearly evident through both the lyrics, as well as their actions that can be seen throughout the video.
The camera never stays still nor does it focus on a single person or object for any length of time due to the fast pace of the music, which makes it enjoyable for the audience visually. The song even appeared in 'American Pie 2', and if you know anything about the characters, you will understand why it fits so perfectly.
One of the main things I like about the video though, is that in many ways I believe it's relatable, mainly in the sense that no one should feel that they have to act in a certain way that others around them believe they need to (even if in this particular instance the band are being pretty extreme about the whole thing).
The main aspect that I like about this song which is most likely to influence how I create my own music video, is the style of the song and the content more so than any technical aspects of the video.
