Green Day- Jesus Of SuburbiaAnalysis of the song,[object Object],http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FILP3yoKrjw&feature=related,[object Object],The song by Green Day is broken down into 5 sections to almost tell a story.,[object Object],Part I. Jesus Of Suburbia This is an introduction of the character and tells about his home life.,[object Object],Part II. City Of The Damned, This takes place in a 7/11 parking lot where he got into a fight and first realized he hated his friends and home: "The 7/11 where I was taught, the motto was a lie, it says home is where the heart is, but everyone's heart doesn't beat the same." The lyric, "At the end of another lost highway" refers to the group of kids who hang out under the highway where once again he doesn't fit in. ,[object Object],Part III. I Don't Care here is where he becomes an outcast hating everyone and everything, and also in the story this is where St. Jimmy (a character Jesus created to heal the pain of a lost girlfriend) ties in, saying he hates everything now. This is where he considers leaving home. ,[object Object],Part IV. Dearly Beloved although not much is known on this part, it's believed to be the peaceful, yet hard twilight between anger and happiness where you are content.,[object Object], Part V. Tales From Another Broken Home during this part, Jesus just gives up and leaves. He doesn't know where he's going but he's just going far away: "Running away from pain when you've been victimized." This is where he's leaving everyone that hated and hurt him, almost starting over, for a new life.,[object Object]
At the beginning of the music video there are a few cuts of a close up of a young punk smoking. The cuts are quick and snappy, cutting to the beat. ‘Jesus of Suburbia’ the main character in the video is introduced with close up cuts and the lyrics above being sung.,[object Object],Long and wide shots to show the viewer the whole scene,[object Object],Another shot used use frequently in this video clip is the high angle shot, whether its used for the ‘sex’ scene as shown here or when the lyrics state ‘I don’t care’ and the male is sabotaging the mall toilet and shop floor.,[object Object]
Throughout the music video, Bayer links the visuals with the lyrics for example a television is used during the lyrics of ‘get my television fix’. Also a use of live coverage, from Milton Keynes in 2005, so Bayer has been clever by blending in live clips with the links with visuals and words. ,[object Object],Another example is the verse used to describe what the character likes doing.,[object Object],‘To alcohol and cigarettes, And Mary Jane, To keep me insane, Doing someone else's cocaine’. ,[object Object],Narrative is also used to help the video tell the story of the song. Using narrative gives the audience information about the characters, how they are feeling and also some more information about the story.,[object Object]
City of Dead relates to him writing ‘Dead’.,[object Object],There are more links and examples of how Bayer has used to bring visuals and words together. Camera angles have also been used in this scene to show his poor mentality state and how he appears to be ‘losing his mind’ this links back to lyrics already used. There are also strong links back to religion, referring to the ‘Jesus of Suburbia’ title. For example ‘holy scriptures’ and ‘it seemed to confess’ relate to the title.,[object Object],‘I read the graffiti In the bathroom stall, Like the holy scriptures of the shopping mall, And so it seemed to confess’. ,[object Object],More narrative linking to lyrics and song title.,[object Object]
