The establishing shot of this music video is a long shot which features all 4 members of the band who appear to be carrying their instruments, this implies immediately that this video will be a performance based video.
After the establishing shot the camera slowly pans round to another long shot and in that time it appears the band have changed their outfits into what appears to be black dressing gowns, the use of the colour black here represents the rock aspect of the genre. The band appear to be walking into a diving center which has synergy with the name of the song 'In Too Deep'.
This medium close up shows us that this video isn't purely a performance based video and is actually also a narrative based video. The band appear to be having a kind of team talk which gives the impression that they are perhaps having a diving contest as they are at the diving centre.
This medium close up shows 3 judges scoring a band members dive, proving that they were intact competing in a contest. This develops the narrative aspect of the video.
As to be expected from a performance video a close up of each individual artist is featured. The purpose of this is so we can get a feel for each artist alone, allowing the audience to get a better feel for the band. This supports Goodwins theory as they sing into camera with close ups promoting themselves.
The final imagine of this music video is a wide shot of the crowd and band in the fool dancing around to the music being played. The opposing diving team are even featured in this shot as it shows everyone having a good time.
How this video inspired me
This video inspired me as at the end of the video all of the main characters have their issues resolved and are having a good time which inspires me to have my characters happy at the ending of my video.
