Kodaline - All I Want (Part 1 & 2)

As part of our research, we watched the music videos for Kodaline's - 'All I Want', which were broken into two separate parts. Although the second part uses the same song, it follows on with the storyline which was shown in the first part. What I found interesting about these music videos is that it is rather different to other videos I have looked at, the majority of them only having one video.

The narrative in the first part shows a man who stands out from others he works with due to the way he looks. This makes him a target but also unable to talk to the person he loves. It's only when he stands up for her that she truly takes an interest in him. The narrative in the second part is much more emotional as he loses his dog (who means a lot to him as it is the only thing that doesn't judge him for the way he looks). He has to therefore go around putting up posters in order to find it. The reunion seen was very moving as you could almost feel the relief from the main character.

It is very different to other narrative music videos I have watched and it's one of the only ones that I really had a lot of emotions for so it has quickly become one of my favourites.
