I have chosen to analyse the song Pumped up kids by Foster the people.
The video starts off performance based with the lights coming from behind them. Also in the opening scene we see someone tombstoning and later into the video we see the same place again but showing different people jumping. Later into the video it changes between the two storylines showing the performance side of the video and then showing the relaxed other part of the video.
This part of the video tends to be filmed in a different style often making it appear as if its a flash back because it is shown to the audience with a different lighting mood.
In this video they do not use Laura Mulvey's Male gaze thoery but however they do use Goodwin's thoery. They link the lyrics to the video thorughout.
