Stressed Out by twenty one pilots

Firstly, what strikes me about this video is the use of tracking shots. These are used at various times throughout. This provides a sense of identification between the character and the audience, setting the focus on both them and the change in their surroundings.
Furthermore, during the scene in which the band performs, the camera zooms and focuses in the elements of the setting, this allows the audience to identify with the artist through the familiar upbringing within a family home.

The narrative is closely followed and referred to by the lyrics of the song. The song is about the struggles faced when becoming an adult and how much simpler childhood seemed to be. This in reinforced at many points in the video. For example, when Tyler and Josh are sat on the sidewalk drinking juice pouches and when they are riding go-karts in the street. This is relatable for almost all of the audience as they will have a recollection of similar events and hobbies from their childhood.
 Furthermore, the use of brief subtitles express an element of simplicity. This connotes the simplicity of childhood, the lack of stress and complication.

I believe that this video is very unconventional as it has a very unique narrative and for a band that is rapidly rising in popularity, it is very simplistic. However, there are some conventional aspects to this video including the use of performance clips, lip synching/miming and the use of a suburban neighbourhood as the setting.

What I like about this video is the simplicity of the narrative as it follows the simplicity of the message within the song. It also allows you to focus on what the message of the song is and focuses on how you have been affected by time and growing up.
