Applying Andrew Goodwin's Theory to a Music Video




Dirty Little Secret- All-American Rejects (Performance)
I think this music video uses many of the features of Andrew Goodwin's theory.

Point 1. Stereotypical pop-rock videos, for example it has the constant changing shots going back and forth between the band performing and then people holding up their cards. 
Point 2. The lyrics mirror the out of performance shots since there are people holding up cards which reveal they're unknown secrets and the lyrics constantly mention how noone needs to know unless you're happy telling them. 
Point 4.There are also many shots of Tyson Ritter; the lead singer of All American Rejects relating back to the idea that there are usually a lot of shots of the band and their lead.
Point 5. The band are performing on stage which emphasizes on the notion of looking.
