blink 182 - first date

Throughout this song it shows them having a good time just socialising and having fun it starts with an introduction to the video seen in the middle shot to suggest the start of a memory or a scene in which we are going to find out what happens this is a technique often used to show development through a story and give the viewer a time and a date to this video making it feel more realistic. Also the title of the song is FIRST DATE this would give the date another meaning now because we now this is the day of his first date the lyrics also tell us this and how he felt at the time of his first date. The third screen shot shows them mimicking the bee gees almost mocking them by copying there clothing and the way they walk etc. this is something the viewer can relate to this is called Intertextuality  this technique is used frequently because it makes the video more interesting to watch and  gives the viewer something to laugh about. The first shot shows them entering a garage and starts to play the song and sing the lyrics but as the song begins we cut to almost like a flash back and how these lyrics link back to this story.
