Music Video Analysis- Passion Pit, Carried Away

Carried Away is a song by Passion Pit it is from their second album 'Gossamer' and falls into the genre of alternative rock.

The video itself shows a troubled relationship between a couple who are arguing and quarrelling frequently. Throughout the video their relationship becomes weaker , but as the video nears its end the two reconcile their differences and take it back to what it used to be like at the start of the relationship.

The video doesn't actually show any members of the band and instead has 2 actors portraying the troubled couple, this video gave us ideas and inspiration for our own music video and we are thinking of using some ideas from this video and trying to put our own twist on them for our own video.

There is also no lip syncing in this video except from when the title of the song is sung 'carried away' and we were thinking of doing something like this in our own video as we like the idea of not having to lip sync throughout the whole video and having the song just being played over the video.

The video does follow the conventions of the genre in certain elements such as the locations used and also how the video relates to the song, so that you can see the lyrics being portrayed in the video. You can tell that a love story is being portrayed and the video is not disjunctive.
