This video uses Propps theory of Hero vs. Villain. In this video it is Jeremy as the hero whos mission it is to override the schools bullies, and the villain is the bully who eventually hits the hero Jeremy. I think that this narrative is used because the producers want to show Jeremy the lead singer of the band as a hero and someone for fans to look up to. The aim is to

show that bullies are bad and that you can overcome adversity from bullies if you stand up for yourself. This narrative is used because in previous videos, it has worked and does appeal to the target audience. I have discovered whilst researching this video that a lead singer of a band should if possible be the attraction and if a certain narrative is used the hero. Also if I directed a video I would need a beginning, middle and end with the good guys prevailing, to follow this theory.
