Analysing Music Videos

Universally Speaking by Red Hot Chili Peppers is a music video with comedy being a main theme. The skill in what has been created in this video is in how the creators have taken a song that is not necessarily comedic but have still created a very entertaining music video from it.
The entire video revolves around a sole character and his own personal story rather than focusing on the band, and I believe this is key to a comedic music video so one can create a more interesting sort of storyline, where they are introduced to a new character not knowing what this character may act like and his relationship with the song itself. The audience thusly become intrigued as they are not knowing of what may happen next.
The different stages of the song, I believe, are shown with different stages of the music video as the introduction of the song comes in the introduction of the character is shown and as the song advances different advancements of the protagonist's own story unfold.

The final culmination of the protagonist's own goals through the music video to get into the gig are granted but he also gets to be on stage with the band, the idea of including the band as the 'grand finale' in the music video is an important technique as it fuses with the climatic ending of the song espcially with the guitar solo at 3:38, it helps entertain the audience and give them almost a sense of release as the story has climaxed and the protagonist can now fully enjoy himself and the audience, at the sight of this, do it too. The requirement for analysing existing music videos is one that has a definite purpose, to create anything in life its natural to encounter some sort of influence in how things have been done before and learn from them.
