Textual analysis of a music video: Goodbye Mr A – The Hoosiers

Goodbye Mr A – The Hoosiers
Mise-en-scene	At least one of the band members are in the majority of the shots in this video. There is one primary location for this video which is the Heroes (The Hoosiers) hideout. It is a rather comical music video, we see a pun, ‘Hoosier Gunna Call?’, which refers to the Ghostbusters tagline ‘Who you gunna call?’. The whole video based around The Hoosiers being superheroes and we see lots of superhero connotations on screen such as costumes, flying, front pages of newspapers and ‘the key to the city’.
Sound	Almost all of the sound in the music video is the song only 12 seconds of dialog at the end of the video is sound which doesn’t feature in the song.
Camera Angles	There are lots of close-ups and long shots of the band members singing and playing their instruments. Whereas shots regarding the narrative are primarily close-ups and mid shots
Transitions	A wipe transition is used at the beginning after the comic book sequence, this wipe transition moves from bottom right to top left and symbolises a page turning.
Narrative	In this rather comical music video the narrative shown in this music video is a group of superheroes overthrowing a solo ‘perfect’ superhero (Mr. A), becoming the new great heroes and gaining the trust and key to the city and then disposing of Mr. A on a giant firework.
Titling	The opening 23 seconds is styled like a comic book and in this sequence we see titles showing the band’s name, the name of the song and the band members (using their superhero names).
