Analysing a Music Video:

Song: Buddy Holly
Artist: Weezer
Director: Spike Jones

Story: The music Video appears in an episode of Happy Days and therefore a detailed plot is not necessary. The selling point of the Music Video is that it is an episode of Happy Days.

Setting: Only one setting is used throughout the Music Video which is Happy Day's Arnold's which is a cafe/meeting point for the cast. By doing this, from a technical point of view, it would have been easier to edit old and new footage togeter as there is only one location.

Characters: We see the band in the Video which an audience would exspect to see, In the video the stars of Happy Day's appear as well as extras enjoying the music and representing the fans.

Costume: The band is dressed according to the era the show was set in, which is the 1970's, this helps them to blend in and not loom out of place.

Lyrics: The plot does not follow the lyrics.

Special Effects: There is two layers of film which are combined from old and new footage. This is so it appears as though the band were in an episode of Happy Day's.

Camera Angles: A close up of the band is used and of famous characters, Long shots are used to show that is it filmed on an episode of Happy Day's.
