Naughty boy- lalala
The music video uses narrative structure to express the meaning on the song, to block out all negativity. It shows a young boy on a journey from his family home all the way to the desert however on the way he meets people. I find this effective as the music video relates to the song in an obvious way which makes the video a lot more interesting to watch by capturing the audience as it it easy to follow and understand without being boring or predictable. The video shows close up shots of the young boy and his friends as they have sad faces to begin with to make us feel sympathy for them but towards the end of the music video, the message of blocking out negativity has changed the effect on the boy and his friends which makes the video seem a lot more positive and it is the new equilibrium. It implies that there was a happy ending to the narrative just like there is usually a happy ending in fairy tales.
The music video also mirrors the famous story of the wizard of oz as Dorothy who is as  innocent as the boy in the video meets a lion, tin man and scarecrow; these characters also represent the characters in the music video this again adds to the idea of a ‘fairy tale’.
