Frank Turner - Try This At Home

Since I'm showing the conventions of my chosen songs genre, I thought I should use one of the artists other videos to show how he uses and challenges the conventions of his genre. To this aim, I am using the video for the song Try This At Home to show this.

This video is slightly faster paced than 'The Road' but has a similar low budget feel to it. The video features several members of the public performing various parts of the song, along with Frank Turner. This style is very simple, yet effective as it gives large amounts of variation to every frame of the video.

This video reinforces the idea of simple conventions in this genre, as it uses handheld cameras and random members of the public to play the song. It also shows a humorous side to the music, as Frank Turners backing band are occasionally seen directing people, but are mostly seen messing around.

This video has shown me that the type of video I want to make can be very easy to make, and that the genre itself is not at all serious, which will help for any video I want to make.
