Analysis of Other Bands in the same genre

Wheatus - A little respect



wheatus a pop rock band from the 90s is a similar genre to harvey danger in it's se of wacky songs with wierd lyrics. this music video involves a very basic storyline that follows a young boy inlove with a girl but unable to prove it to her. It uses a range of different split screens merginging together to give a strane feeling to the viewer. It has had a filter used on it to give it a very brigt blod look like something out of a barbie house or a Tv programme this puts accross the style and genre aiming for young teenagers. The band playing are messing about and joking giving us the feel of what type of humour they have. They use thier traied mark checked background, found in most of thier videos and CD covers, throughout the video to give the Viewer an idea who they arewithout listening to the music.

Wheatus - teenage dirtbag



Again in this video we see the main protaganist fighting to win the heart of a girl that is out of his leauge. Filemed in a a school they use a range of camera and editing styles to create a film atmospher. repeated in this video they use a film actor to be in it (jason briggs &brittany Murphy) to again give it a teen movie genre. As if they are using film contexts but breaking the mold slightly. from shots back and forth from the storyline and the bandwe once again see the band members joking about with maracers and apples giving a very light hearted feel to the video. with the film elemnt thrown in you get remnded of films that came out in that time like Clueless, American pie or She' all that.
