Figure Expression
This is similar through all videos. The band members
show a relaxed pose during the majority of the song
and follow the beat, especially the lead vocalist, Craig.
When the beat is heavier the members usually head
bang or play with more emotion.

Themes / Narratives
Theme / Narrative:
The videos are not based around narratives, their focus is the band performance as
they are trying to sell the artist. Although ‘He’s a Rocker’ opens with a mock
interview scene with an apparentVines fan.
The videos are not themed around the lyrics of the songs.
