ADDITIONAL NOTES
- Taken from Andrew Goodwin's music video theory: the record label includes the need for close-ups of the artist - they'll have a visual style which recurs across their work. Liam Fray, pictured in the fourth frame above, is shown in a close-up shot. This shows that the Courteeners' record label [PIAS Cooperative for their album ANNA; Ignition Records for their latest album Mapping the Rendezvous] expects much of their prominence in their music videos.
- Additionally, Fray seems to be "breaking the fourth wall" as he is singing to the camera - a simulation that he is directly addressing the audience.
- Regarding shot #2: it is actually the notion of looking. The lead character's girlfriend is looking seductively at the camera in an over-the-shoulder shot, suggesting that we as the audience should look at her feminine beauty from our POV.
