Paramore

The second Paramore video I decided to analyse is called Playing God.
This video was released after the media had stopped criticising Hayley for being the only reason that Paramore became successful.
Majority of this video was shot in Hayley's house itself, I guess this was a way of her getting back to the negative media comments by showing that she doesn't mind her personal space being shown.

Here is the video



In this video the light bulb is used again, it is inter textual between the two videos. Instead of Hayley keeping hold of the light bulb herself, she has tied down her fellow band members and placed the light bulb on top of them. This is probably to show the media that she doesn't want all of the limelight, and is willing to share it with the band. She is only seen as the main person in Paramore by fans because she is the lead singer, not many people take into account the names of the musicians and are only concerned with the singers.

Throughout this video Hayley Williams seems to show two sides of herself. One being really friendly and inviting and the other being a serious, dangerous and revenge seeking person. This may have been done to show that she is generally a really nice person but if people have negative points of view towards her, she can be evil and turn angry. (But who doesn't do that?)
