1. The video fades as the song begins and the
audience are greeted with a close up of a walkway
in which a shadow is seen walking onto the
screen. However quickly the editing cuts to a close
up of the Script's lead singers face as he seemingly
looks down upon his shadow. As the sequence
continues the scene is gradually opened up more
to reveal the busy streets and the large buildings
surrounding him. The actions of the singer, of
looking around signalling as if he is lost gives an
indication to the message of being trapped in this
situation as he looks for a way out. Within the first
10 seconds the video already contrasts with the
Stereophonics music video 'Devil' as the daylight
sets up a different mood of hope, compared to the
dismal dark blacks and greys within the rock video.
The pace of the editing is also much quicker with
13 shots taken place in the first 10 seconds
however only 3 shots take place within
Stereophonics' 'Devil' creating a more suspicious
atmosphere whilst the Script get straight into a
feeling of being lost.

2. Both the performance element and narrative link from
the first line as when the lyrics begin the lead singer in
shown singing the them in the same location of the busy
streets. During the singing the editing pace dramatically
slows down allowing for the audience to gather up the
full emotions felt by the lead singer as the close up gives
full facial expressions to express the sadness felt inside
him. The leather jacket worn by the lead singer is similar
to that of what is worn by Stereophonics' lead singer
when performing the song during the video the link of
rock is found here between the two. The leather jacket is
a stereotypical piece of clothing found often within the
rock genre and the effectiveness of using it in music
videos is to highlight the type of music and look they are
wanted to be portrayed about them however both bands
have a different style of music in which is reflected in the
style of leather jacket each are wearing. Continuing with
the clothing the narrative cuts from a smartly dressed
lost male to a much scruffier look with multiple layers
being worn whilst the fingerless gloves give a
representation of 'homeless'. Within most forms of
media the homeless are often portrayed in this style such
as seen below, this means the video has tried to re-create
the feeling of being homeless as he waits for his lost one.

3. Another similarity between the two is the way in which
the whole band are not brought in until the chorus. This
video however is much slower with its editing during
the song as this creates a bond between the song and
video as the slow pace of the song would not match
with the quick pace editing of the Stereophonics song.
The mise-en-scene shows it to be an empty car park
that creates a link with the narrative that is located
within the big city. There is also a use of bright lights
being gazed across the band as they perform
representing the idea of hope and a light at the end of
the tunnel. I contrast Stereophonics use a much darker
setting for the performance and use a red light
occasionally throughout the video, the two videos do
this to represent the ideology that is being portrayed
within the song itself. The Script look to mast together a
video that shows love and passion whereas
Stereophonics aim to achieve an emotion of hate but
also lust for another.

4. The next verse the male is shown sitting down at the
end of the road creating a link between the song and
the narrative with further bonds being put together by
the use of a close up of a sign that he puts down
which has some of the lyrics f the song written on it 'If
you see this girl can you tell her where I am'.
Furthermore a close up of a watch being placed onto
the ground represents time and how the singer will
wait for however long it takes until he gets what he
wants back. This is a good technique that allows the
audience to understand what the lyrics do mean as he
sings 'I'm not moving' which is then made clear by
what is seen visually by the clothing representing
living on the streets, whilst the props of a watch and
cardboard with lyrics written on it portraying how he
is planning on staying there forever if that is what it
takes.

5. Further into the song an even stronger narrative link
with the lyrics is created by the use of the news
interviewing the singer whilst h sings about hoping see
she's him on television. The video has affectively used
this feature by adding an effect that makes it seem a
though the viewers are seeing this through the news
camera, with this feature making it seemingly more
'realistic' most of the audience will be able to relate to
this from what they see on the news. Both The Script
and Stereophonics have added an affect to at least one
shot with Stereophonics being the grey-scale affect, and
both have relevance within the narrative.
Towards the end of the video a time lapse is used to
convey time going by as he persists to wait for her to go
back to where they met. The video has a close up of the
watch that was placed down and the time lapse is still
used to show the time going by rapidly as he still waits for
her. Furthermore to this the time lapse started with a shot
of the watch and it acts as a motif to the start and end o
the time lapse as the it ends with the close up of the
watch in which time comes to halt as the singer finishes
off the song with the final outro verse

6. The two music videos have two completely different meanings and
ideology behind them which means different features are used to
convey different messages. However even though this mainly occurs
throughout because the two songs are very different many of the
same features are used but in different ways, the cross over of The
Script's 'pop-rock' genre into the rock genre is very subtle with
clothing and the use of the band during the chorus is much the
same to the methods used by Stereophonics.
