The video is for the song "Walk" by the Foo Fighters and depicts the band's frontman Dave Grohl stuck in traffic and becoming increasingly irritated by minor annoyances. As his anger builds, he abandons his car and destroys his phone, acting out in frustration. The video suggests these actions represent Grohl trying to escape his troubles. It eventually shows him relaxing at band practice, playing music as an outlet. The video concludes with Grohl being arrested, indicating he still struggles with his temper at times.

1. Detailed Video Analysis
Band: Foo fighters
Directed by: Sam Jones
Album: Wasting light

2. Walk
• The video begins with the
protagonist, who is also the
band's front man 'Dave Grohl',
stuck in a traffic jam. During
this period we can hear and
see things which are obviously
irritating the front man (Horns,
road works sirens) which leads
to the expression on his face
which we can see to the left.
The traffic jam is thought to
represent the protagonists life,
at a stand still going nowhere.

3. Walk
• As the video progresses we
see the frontman become more
and more annoyed and irritated
by what is going on around
him. We see him getting
annoyed at various bumper
stickers which indicates his
dislike for certain artist's and
political figures.

4. Walk
• As we can see to the left, all
the slight irritations happening
around him have all built up,
causing him to lose his temper
and throw a bit of a tantrum.
• The close up shot of the
protagonist is used to
exaggerate the anger in his
face.

5. Walk
• Now we can see that it has
came to the point were he can't
take it anymore and has
decided to abandon the car
and make his own way. This
again symbolises the
protagonist's life and this
represents the moment in his
life were he decides he's had
enough.

6. Walk
• The close up of his phone
shows us that still things aren't
going his way and that he is
still getting aggravated by little
things, which leads to him
throwing the phone of the
bridge. This it showing us that
he is trying to get rid of all the
little aggravations (Walking
away from traffic jam, throwing
away phone).

7. Walk
• "Learning to walk again, I believe
i've waited long enough, where
do I begin?". Here we can see a
medium close up shot of the
protagonist checking his watch
as if to say when is it all going to
end? "Where do I begin". The
lyric "Learning to walk again"
suggests that he is starting fresh
and the lyric " I believe i've
waited long enough" is
suggesting that he thinks he
deserves a break from all the
irritating things happening to him.

8. Walk
• By this point we have gathered
that the protagonist obviously
has a very short temper, which
is demonstrated again as he
pushes over the phone box in
anger and again in a fast food
restaurant where Grohl is
unsatisfied with his order and
decides to shove it into an
employee's face. This adds a
sense of humor to the video,
which the bands demographic
will be familiar with.

9. Walk
• He we can see the protagonist
running from a police car. This
plays to the rebellious
convention of the rock genre
which again helps the band
relate with their demographic.

10. Walk
• Now we are beginning to see a
turning point for the
protagonist. After stepping in
dog waste, the protagonist is
surprisingly calm and doesn't
lash out at anything and just
calmly cleans it off his shoe.

11. Walk
• Here, Grohl is arriving at band
practice, and as we can see,
he is un-doing he tie, this
suggesting he is finally feeling
at ease as he is doing
something that he enjoys,
which is also helping him relax.

12. Walk
• Here we can see the
conventional rock band music
video (Band together playing
instruments) which again
relates to the bands
demographic and also follows
the convention of the genre.

13. Walk
• At the end of the music video
we see Grohl being taken
away by police officers, this
indicating that no matter how
hard he tried to change
things and be a better person
he couldn't help himself from
lashing out from time to time,
resulting in him being taken
away.
