The music video for The White Stripes’ ‘Fell in Love with a Girl’ is
unlike the other music videos I have looked at an analysed as it is concept
based rather than performance or narrative based and this has been created
through the use of stop motion animation.
The animated equalizer moves at the
same speed as the song and so by using rhythmic editing the visuals match the
audio which makes it interesting for the audience to watch as well as creating
an energetic and lively concept piece. However, it does contain real footage at
the beginning of the music video before the music starts. This suggests that
the young boy is using the Lego to create the scenes in the music video. The
way that the stop motion animation has been constructed, it creates quite a
humorous music video as it is not conventional of the genre. This means that
star image is not created; however, iconography which is part of the band’s
signature can be found within the music video. 
The Lego has been made to look like
the band members are playing instruments, which is indicative of the rock
genre. The striped triangles which is seen in the band’s song ‘Seven Nation
Army’ is used once again for the background of their music video. The music is
successful as it provides the audience with an interesting and humorous concept
based music video.
