Which leads to my next point that is if anyone can enjoy the music then everyone can enjoy the video.
The music is fun and enjoyable to listen to and it links directly to the video which is just as fun.
Thats the main appeal about the video is that it's funny, seemingly unintentionally as the idea of the song is a serious message but it is displayed in a funny way. This is something that is seen a lot in rock music videos.
It actually comes from an old theatre technique called 'Verfremdungseffekt' which is a distancing effect, for example using humour to make the audience forget about the subject of the the play and focus on the context. In the case of my video the badgers are used as humour for the audience to see the context.
Heres an example of the technique being used. The song 'sugar we're going down' by Fall out boy.
The video features a boy with antlers who is bullied and even hunted by people in his community, kids throwing things at him and people making jokes about him as he falls in love with a normal girl is whats funny about the video. But the song is about being accepted and being who you are.
