Relationship between lyrics and visuals?
The lyric of the song are about a man called 'Brian'. This has a relationship with the visuals mainly when an image of the 'Brian' character is shown in the video at the same time as him name is said in the lyrics. The other relationship is when the star image Alex Turner is lip sinking to the lyric. This is don't to amplify them to the audience.

Relationship between music and visuals?
There is a strong relationship between the dancers and the music due to the fact they dance to the beat of the song. Also at the start of the video we see the drums in the music being amplified by the drummer playing the beat.



Are there close-ups of the artists and star image motifs?
There are some close ups of the star image during the video to allow the audience to clearly see the artist singing, showing he is in sink with the song. 

Is the video category illustration, disjuncture or amplification?
I think that this music video imparticular is mainly disjuncture. This is because of the dancers being a main part of the video which is uncommon in 'Indie' music video and more common in hip hop or R&B music videos. However I think this is done to make this video stand out from other 'Indie' music videos.
