IN CONCERT AND 'AS LIVE' FOOTAGE
where the event is live or uses footage from one of there concerts so it shows audiences live reactions this allows for the audience to see real emotion, i believe this was successful for the audience to see the emotion on the performers and audience face and with it being in a concert setting it means that any interactions between performer and audience become more interactive for the viewer. this video does it well with plenty of shots into the crowed to show its a live show and i personally enjoy the video.


ANIMATION
Animation is an art form that allows the watchers to see the person/focus in an out of body experience. it also can brings fantasy to normal situations it also allows for things to be exaggerated a lot such as in this video, the video shows people playing video games but it shows it as much more grander than it is. this is a good example of it as the tempo and visuals makes the audience feel hyped and energetic for this event. The fast pace and fast editing of the video gives the person energy and readiness to do mostly anything.


INTERPRETIVE
videos that are open to interpretation. and tell the audience to look deeper for the meaning behind the music video. depending on the intended audience this may be difficult then most other songs as if you give a deep powerful image to a kids song or a song where kids really enjoy it the message maybe lost or at least wasted on them. with handlebars it is all open to interpretation as this video could have multiple meanings and messages that it wants to convey and it is up to the viewer to decide what that message is.
NARRATIVE
narrative is another word for story. this means that the song is driven through a a story it is usually a song shown through how this story affected somebody's life if the song was depressing/sad while the ending of more happier story is a bit more exaggerated and shows how the character has developed over the song to where he or she is now but in the of this song it is depressing using subtle imagery such as stan watching over Eminem in the window at the end as well as it being through letters makes it depressing as well which works well in this song.

IMPRESSIONIST
its very similar to surrealist as it shows your images that you many not want to believe are real as they are often deformed or altered or just crazy, In this song it is just crazy and doesn't make me uneasy but does give me a weird feeling when watching it so i guess it is successful in its task as it gives distortions and altered forms of the same images and sounds but enough to break realism.
SURREALIST
they often show people on drug or a death experience which causes for a out of body/trip experience which shows people in the lead up or during the event. the lyrics at usually literal and slightly depressing but the images is often deluded/altered in some way which gives it a new look and slightly changes its meaning. this song does this very well with supernatural events or magic which alters everything so it does work with in the context of a surrealist song as its idea of greed can change someone who is down on his or hers luck if a powerful message but the alterations and delusions in the video give it an alternative perspective.

PASTICHE/HOMAGE
these are ways of tributing a song or music video to a creator, film or TV show. this is a beautiful homage to the late paul walker as i know many people who have cried to this song making it one of the greatest songs of all time and that is a sign of an amazing song.

PARODY
this is done for comedic value and is either about an artist and there song or about a problem that the artist or artist consider nothing much. the song is made to make people laugh but as well as this it is to still entertain and show a bands style of music. this shows all the song or at least most of the songs with the same 4 chords in most songs that became hits. this is very funny but also shows how accustomed we are to hearing the same things over and over without even realising it.

REFERENCING
this is referencing to movies and TV shows taking the clips of the movie or show and using that as the footage for the video this is not only to advertise the band but the movie as well. this is to give extra revenue both to the film and talent. this is mainly to advertise the movie which it has done fairly well as it does make people wonder where the song is from or how the artist is so it is a win win for both parties. i personally like the music and didn't realise this song was in the film until a second     re-watch of the film so it has succeed to get people to watch the movie again.
