Shipping up to boston - Dropkick Murphys
second on the list is dropkick murphys it features a highly nattrive driven video which suits the style of the music played it starts of with a showing of bagpipes and typical scenes in boston then moves on to some poor bloke getting mugged then chucked off a fence into a ditch it then moves onto the band memebers meeting up with some of there mates and then jumps straight to a cut of the band playing we see several other gang memeber esk scenes which lead on the narrative with cuts back to the band as the story progresses eventually we see two gangs clashing and eventually getting arrested after chasing down one of the band members. it deffineatly has the "dropkick" style irish styled music to irish themed gang violance which has proven popular with alot of people celtic music as its referd to for some unknown reason has seen the rise and fall of very popular bands some one hit wonders but one above the rest has to be dropkick murphys who are one of the most popular bands on youtube and other media networks.
conventions used would include narrative without doudt the entire video is driven by it i would also call it a homage to a move called the boondock saints which features some very similar scenes with a similar theme it extends the songs meaning as well as vissualy interpretaing the lyrics of the song
it also uses several editing techniques such as "hewing" and very quick and snappy scenes.
