The video summarizes the conventions of a punk rock music video including featuring a scary character and showing the band's performance skills. It shows how the visuals relate to the lyrics, depicting monsters when lyrics mention demons. The editing cuts between shots synchronize with the music. Most of the video features the lead singer, as the record label would want to promote him. It includes fans looking at the band and references to Frankenstein to represent the band's identity and theme of evil. The video has a concept-based approach rather than focusing on narrative or performance.

2. Andrew Goodwin – genre conventions
The conventions of a punk rock music video is
usually the idea of a character in the music video and
most the time this person will be scary or been
shown to be doing something bad.This was very
stereotypical as it was a very popular young culture
at the time as this was done to show that they don’t
conform to society and there ways. In the first few
second we see this character which is a man in a
mask but this also has some link to the band as the
skull is the band logo. Standing out from everyone
as this is what was about. Another convention of a
punk rock music video is the performance based so
showing of the talent in the band, if this is the
guitarist playing or the frontman singing. As in this

3. Andrew Goodwin – relationship between
lyrics and visuals
As the lyrics “door it opens is the way back in, Or is
it the way back out?” are said this video from
Frankenstein is flashed as Frankenstein's monster
comes thought the door. Linking to the
conventions of a punk rock music video as this
character is a monster and just shows the idea of
chaos and destruction.The next lyric that links
very heavily to the visuals is this image where is
says “I have seen the demon's face” where two
times this image is flashed on the screen over the
lead singers face as it almost subliminal messages
and makes him seem like the demon he is on
about in the lyrics.

4. Andrew Goodwin- relationship between
music and visuals
This scene of the video shows the
relationship between the music video and
the visuals as every time the cymbal is hit
a next figure comes into the frame and
the one before disappears. So does the
camera as is rolls from right to left every
time it changed it is because of the
cymbals being hit.This happens all the
way thought out the music video and this
is mainly because of the editing as the
faster the music and the singing is the
quicker the cuts and edits are and the
more the camera moves and this is very
important as it creates more tension and

5. Andrew Goodwin – demands of the record
label
Most of the music video is Michale Graves
singing and as he is the lead singer this is
what the record label would want as he is the
representation of the band as this is who the
fans want to be like as he is a leader.They
show him to be scary and punk as he is almost
shown to be the demon that the song is
about.

6. Andrew Goodwin – references to the notion
of looking
The fans looking at the band and shouting and
cheering them on as they all look towards the
band so looking at the camera.This is
important ad it shows not just the band
playing it shows the support they have and
gets the fans involved in the video. All thought
out the video Michale Grave is looking at the
camera but the rest of the band look at the
camera then look away or don’t even look at it
as they are to busy playing instrument making
me think they play music because its there
passion not for the fame and money.

7. Andrew Goodwin – intertextual references
This character represent the band and there logo
as this is there logo and this is the intertextual
links it has with the song. So this links to the band
and there identity as a punk rock band.There are
also many references to franksteins monster as
images if him from the movie are flashed thought
the video around 3-4 time in the video and this is
important as it shows the idea of demons and evil
as the song is about.

8. Andrew Goodwin – performance based,
narrative based or concept based
This music video is mainly concept based but there is a small element
of performance in there as you do see the band play. It is mainly
concept based though as a lot of the video is random clips of movie or
ghost and demons.
