Bastardo
Lyrics And Visuals
Examples:
- Quotations in speech bubbles
- Holding money as lyrics about money is heard
- Crossword puzzle filled in with lyrics
- Photo of Spanish guy when he is discussed

- The story is told through a magazine, it is told in a linear story about a relationship.
- Explaining story, images like the images in her head - magazine uses motion and comes to life.
- Fashion magazine, teen girls magazine in an 80's style - perhaps targeting an older audience and perhaps fetishising youth.
- IRONY - Her image is always changing, different subcultures expressed, she is playing with the idea of image, which may be understood by a mature audience (unsure who she is?)
-  Taking the mick out of standard 'love songs' and is more bothered about her guitar than the male.
- Not in love with male character but with her guitar.
- Sells to older audience, one night stands.
- David Walliams & Simon Pegg (comedians, which maybe enhances the comedy aspect of what the video is trying to do)

SUPPORT ACT
The Smears
Creating an image
- All female band
- Feminist
- Rebellion
- Female empowerment
- Masculine music genre
- Subculture of their own

Behind The Bunhouse - previous A2 music video
- Heartbreak, the narrative creates an image
- Depression, anger, sympathy, focusing the males feelings, sense of loneliness, self pity and isolation
- World on his shoulders, "no-one understands me" dramatic teenager
- Relatable for a teenage audience - connection with target audience through relation.

Structure
- Beginning, middle, end
- Reminiscing old times with eachother
- Together > Arguing > Affair
- Strong idea & story
- Narrative and performance, performance integrated into story
- Story, lip syncing incorporated
- Pack of cards - Male = King   Female = Queen   Interfering Male = Joker
-  Characters resemble eachother - perhaps giving the image that the male is in love with himself?
- Woods represent his psychological state of mind.
- Flat - grown up relationship setting
- Throws guitar at the end of chorus, symbolising new part of song
- Bridge > Chorus > Verse
