3OH!3 - Still Around
The First thing we notice about this music video is that it was filmed on a flip camera, even though this is a professional artist with a professional recording studio. They have made this music video look amateur on purpose which is very different to usual music videos that tend to look very stylish and professional.
I like the way the shots are edited in time with the music. This is typical to all genre's of music video as we have seen earlier in my research. It is a good start to the music video and can set the scene for the rest of the video.
This is unusual to music videos as the singer is in very normal clothes not like we would expect to see. This again is to try to add to the feel of the song and how it is filmed to look very amateur. It also follows along with 3OH!3 comedy feel to there songs and music videos, another example of one of there more comic videos is 'Dont Trust Me'.
I like the location chosen for the song in a farm as the song is very slow and layed back and has a country feel to it.
Although the music video has no relation to what the song is describing, the horse can be symbolic for the love her has over it to the love of the woman that is in the song lyrics and the thought of the loss of something that is a part of ones live, as seen in this video thats made to look like a home video of him and his horse.
