Goodwin's theory music video review

The Libertines - Time for Heroes

The video fits the genre as in the video the band are performing. However in this video they are playing to a live audience unlike most other music videos in this genre, where they are performing in a studio. The video also contributes to the theme of London. This can be seen through its setting which is London and the expression of their love for the city can be seen through there actions and emotions portrayed on screen. In this video, the words are not matched on screen, the theme is. The video does not follow the beat of the music unlike other music videos of the same genre, which separates it from other videos. The video also has several close ups of the stars, creating intimacy between the audience and the band that can not be created through live performance, it also helps establish the relationship between the two. There are also several references to English and American culture in the video. Through the settings, landmarks and the lyrics of the song.
