Narrative of Foal's music video

The video narrative begins with a guy walking to a gig, past a group of girls, the music is vaguely heard outside, he is refused entry. (The entire video is based on a linear narrative, events happen in order). The band are then shown performing to an audience who are slightly in slow motion. Once again the music transfers to being background music to those in the toilets otherwise occupied, when the chorus is delivered the band are shown once again as the focus.
There are many shots of the happy audience. Then the three dancing women are introduced outside the gig, then they dance in the middle of the gig. The visuals become more blurred and colour-edited. The band then exit and it is cut to the three girls dancing in the street to the song being played from an i-pod with the guy who couldn't get in watching. Though the narrative is linear, different aspects are constantly introduced eg. the activity in the gig's tiolets and the girl's outside - I like the fact that the footage of the band playing isn't the only aspect of narrative in the video. There is an enigma behind whether there was even actually a gig or not and who the girls/man were.

Narrative of Gabrielle Aplin's music video

This video's narrative focus' around a couple who have broken up. It begins in the present tense with Gabrielle alone thinking about the memories she has, this is shown throughout the video by flash backs of the couple looking happy together. The flash backs come to an end towards the end of the video, which is the explaination to the audience why in the present shots of Gabrielle she looks so down. Yet the flash backs tell the story of how their relationship went from very good to bad, this keeps the audience's interest up as they are gradually discovering the narrative, it is not simplistically linear (which some may be used to). The flashbacks always cut forward to similar shots of Gabrielle in the present playing her guitar to reiterate to the audince that she's having flash backs.  The setting of the shots are often very different eg. at the pub, creating a puzzle to create the impression that time had passed when they were together and therefore when it is revealed that they broke up the audience is saddened.
