I have decided to apply these concepts to the music video for Green Day's "Jesus of Suburbia"
Narrative: The narrative of the video is that of the titular character becoming disillusioned with his life, starts rebelling and eventually leaves his town.
Editing: The video makes multiple uses of jump cuts and fast editing. On several occasions, the lyrics and music stop entirely for regular conversations between people before going back to the song.This makes the video very intense which matches with the lyrics.
Camera Movement: The video uses close-ups many times as well as medium shot, long shots and crab shots. There are also examples of panning in the video to show different people.
Diegesis: The diegesis for the music video is revealed slowly in the video as it starts out as a bunch of seemingly random scenes but hold a meaning as they are telling a story. It is also linked to the album it came from "American Idiot" as all songs from it are pieces of the story it is telling.
