Video Analysis

Just Jack-The Day I Died

This video is very interesting as it has no performance or lip syncing. However, this works as the video illustrates the words and tells the story so a performance isn't needed. It is as if the music is the narrator of the video. The video completely illustrates what the words are saying. Normally this is very cheesy but it works completely in this video due to the great acting and song being very much a story. However, not every line is precisely right to the video, which works well as it helps to add meaning, as your getting the original story but some extra as well. It also works very well due to the actor James Nesbitt, being very well known. This creates familiarity and also he normally plays an average family guy so it seems very believable. The editing also captures the mood of the video as it is very slow, almost mellow a lot like the song.
