- 'Don't Speak' by No Doubt... Directed by Sophie Muller again
- 'Third Wave Ska' and 'Ska Punk' illustrated by the performance-based video
- Lyrics sort of contradicted by visuals- lyrics talk about a break up, visuals show problems in a band rather than between a couple
- Sometimes lyrics are illustrated - "our memories, well, they can be inviting" - transition to memory shown by the greyish tone to visuals.
- Cut to the beat
- Instrumental illustrated by narrative
- Long takes for slow verses, shorter takes for chorus
- Close ups of all band members at some point. Lots of CUs of Gwen Stefani with microphone.
- Gwen Stefani presented as sensitive whereas band members seem indifferent
- Both this video and video for 'Just A Girl' are predominantly performance based
- Quite a few shots of Gwen Stefani and bass player Tony Kanal since the song is based around their relationship
- No real sexual display of Gwen in performance. The dress she's wearing doesn't really make her seem sexualised.
- Gwen's wearing less clothing for live show footage, but it's still not really shot in sexualised way
- Some sexual display when Gwen's taking pictures with the orange - pouting etc.
- Notion of looking: camera taking pictures of Gwen, band members looking at her (ECUs on eyes)
- Intertextual references to band's image - media focus on Gwen and not band. Live footage.
- Mostly performance based - in a garage
- Some narrative - Gwen Stefani being focused on by the media, other band members being ignored... some archive footage
- A bit of concept at the beginning and end - orange from tree - garden of Eden-esque
