Narrative within a music video is often the hook that will draw views in. It can also be claimed that narrative has a lot to do with the idea of “time” and how it is used within the space. In comparison of both Letter to the Free and Ghost Town; very alternating music videos themselves- there are different approaches to narrative that are used for both.

For example, in regards to Ghost Town; this high-energy, angsty video almost has the feel of teenage drama to it that could so easily draw viewers of that certain calibre in- no matter the lyrics. Also, with this tension and energy that is created, you could say that there is a lot to do with Tztevan Todorov and his approach on Narrative. Todorov speaks of a clear beginning, middle and end- something that Ghost Town with its underlying political messages and bustling streets it is enough to tell a story.

However, in terms of Seymour Chatman with satellites and kernels, a lot could also be said for Ghost Town. The way this video is filmed casts a spotlight on the band members and pays close attention to details; even irrelevant figures on the busy streets. Therefore, the kernels within this video could be the when the band are within the car and they are driving through the tunnel, and the satellites could be the contrasting coloured shirts that the member wear.

Furthermore, in terms of Letter to the Free, this is a music video that has a lot less of a structure and is not as easy to analyse within a narrative. However, although there isn’t a clear chronological order to the events of the music video; I could perhaps claim that the video has come together by many different theorists and narratives merging into one.
