Music video analysis (same genre) 'Foo Fighters-All My Life'

Foo Fighters genre is a mixture of alternative rock, hard rock, and lastly post grunge.

Goodwin said that certain genres music videos have specific things within them. For example, post grunge, being a sub genre form alternative rock, and grunge, would be something like stage performances. The same way as a pop star would probably have a dance routine. In this video, Foo Fighters are doing what is expected, with stage performances. This is continued through a lot of the video and most of it is aimed to look live and realistic. 

There are not really any relationships between the lyrics and what's on the screen as most of it is performance based. Any emotion from the lyrics would have to be shown through the singer, which in this case there are no parts where he needs to cry, smile, or anything like that, so he just sings. The video is simple, just performing on stage. But the lights, and the shots used to present the band make it more complicated and edgy.

The shots are cut to the beat giving it a neat finish too. This is a key thing to do, otherwise if they are cut at different places in comparison to the beat, the video will end up mushed and not look as professional as it could.

There are a lot of close ups of the lead singer because everyone knows who he is. This helps the record company working with them because it is promotion for the band. Especially because he was associated with Nirvana it will attract people who listen(ed) to them and encourage them to listen to Foo Fighters.

Goodwin also talks in his theories about frequency reference to notion of looking, meaning, in this case, the use of the stage as it is a post grunge band. 

The colours in the video are very dark and echo the moodiness from the song well. This is another one of Goodwin theory. The way the video and lyrics work together to create an atmosphere. In this video Foo Fighters did exactly that. The surroundings in the video were dark and had low key lighting which creates a sinister atmosphere what works with the type of genre in this case. The clothes worn were typical 'post grunge'  clothing.
