Script
AFTER many more genres
cue:Set in a multitude of locations from a space station to a volcano
Interpreted vague lyrics to narrative straightforward stories told by the lyrics and visualised by the video itself.


AFTER as heard in the lyrics

cue:The Styles used in the video are a multitude of different techniques and influences such as the use of slow zooms and panning shots of the protagonist to create emotion and feeling for him while also showing the costume complexity and animation seen on the character, the lighting is dim and any lighting seen is highly exaggerated to highlight the science fiction influences displayed in the video such as the led lighting shown on the characters costume which is bright and exaggerated to show its "alien" technology and the soft energy pack light along on the back to display a "soft, emotional" connection with the otherwise silent and character unable to display emotion apart from dancing and beeping. The setting is an 80s/90s vintage visual feel that is expressed in the sci fi genre of that time.
The camera movements as aforementioned include panning shots of the character to show detail and intricacy in costume and effects to feel literally and proverbially "closer" to the characters. The special effects are based on transport seen in sci fi films and thus range from particle effects and lens flares to altitude crashes and take off into space.

AFTER one minute of thriller plays

The Styles of this music video connote the dark and chilling setting expressed in the three main locations which express settings commonly seen in the horror genre which was its main purpose to connote a "spooky" setting shrouded in mystery which is synonymous to the lyrics of the song, the choreography and movement is identical to the beat of the song as is the editing during the song which is highly regarded and easy to follow the pace of both Storyline and Music, the characters in this video are portrayed in the stereotypical manner seen in movies as in the male is the prominent character protecting the female and is usually the one to transform into a monster, also due to the age of the characters (Mid Teens) who are statistically more likely to have a date at a cinema are also represented in a fashion commonly seen in the horror genre and therefore this video serves as a homage to the genre.

AFTER one minute of Party Rock Anthem

The setting for this music video is a post apocalyptic modern wasteland set after the events of their previous song Sorry for Party Rocking which they wake up in a coma for "Partying too Hard" and they wake up 28 DAYS LATER (The first of many Easter eggs hinting towards a post-apocalyptic wasteland) to help further connote this sub-genre in the video the styles used in the video such as a variety of debris strewn across the streets, abandoned cars, no background noise apart from weather and as per usual the protagonist has no idea of the danger they're in, the urban colors in the setting are alike the palette normally seen in the horror sub-genre of film, the choreography and movement directly link with the lyrics, forming a literal storyline out of the lyrics rather than a vague non interpretive music video which sets it apart as a homage to post apocalyptic films which is an untapped genre of music video
