STYLES OF VIDEO: PASTICHE
A Pastiche music video is when the directors find inspirations from a different time period. An example of a pastiche is Christina Aguilera's "Candy Man".
The video is obviously inspired by the 1930s. In the video we see three girls in sailors outfits with red, blonde and brunette hair performing a dance routine and singing. This is obviously a homage to The Andrews Sisters, a singing group who were successful in the 30s. The pastiche of the 1930s works because the song is inspired by the music from that era, so having a video that matches the feel of the song creates a winning product overall.
STYLES OF VIDEO: PARODY
A parody is the lighter side of music video styles and it often makes fun of styles that have been previously used by other artists. Sometimes they might be light hearted parodies or sometimes they might be making fun because they dislike the style. An example of a parody is Blink 182's "All The Small Things".
The video parodies a lot of pop acts like Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys. The video works because they have incorporated different aspects of their own which makes it unique. Sometimes parodies can be very dry and not funny but it is definitely not the case with this video. The video is also a good example of cutting to the beat as it cuts at the end of every guitar riff.
