The document analyzes the mise-en-scène, actors/blocking, costumes/makeup, figure expression, and camera work of three music videos by Australian rock band The Vines: "Get Out", "He's a Rocker", and "Get Free". It finds recurring elements like the band typically being a three or four piece in formation on stage, costumes consisting of jeans, jackets, and sneakers with medium-length messy hair, and camera shots including mid shots, close ups, and panning shots. The document also notes the videos focus on performing the song and selling the artist rather than following a narrative.
